Abstract
The sutureless compression anastomotic technique with the biofragmentable anastomosis ring (BAR; Valtrac, Davis and Geck, USA) is gaining wide acceptance in colonic surgery. The reported advantages of the technique include fastness, safety, and standardization. However, most reports concern selected indications, among which colonic carcinoma is the most frequent. This study reviews personal experience with colonic anastomoses for inflammatory disease (Crohn’s disease and diverticulitis) using the Valtrac BAR.
