Comparison Between Biofragmentable Anastomosis Rings and Stapling Techniques in Sigmoid Resection for Diverticulitis

  • Conference paper
Compression Anastomosis by Biofragmentable Rings

Abstract

Clinical experience tells us that anastomotic wounds of the stomach or small intestine heal well, whereas colonic lesions are more likely to disrupt [4, 14]. Anastomoses in acute or chronic diverticulitis are thought to be especially dangerous [8, 11]. For many years now stapling techniques have proved to be efficient in restoring the continuity of the large bowel [3, 9, 12, 13]. The aim of this study was to compare biofragmentable anastomosis ring (BAR) anastomoses [3] and stapling devices in a special high-risk group, i.e. patients undergoing an operation for diverticulitis.
