Analysis of the Cause of Failure of Esophagointestinal and Gastrointestinal Anastomoses

Abstract

Abstract. The article presents a literature review on the causes of failure of esophagointestinal and gastrointestinal anastomoses. The frequency of failure of esophagointestinal anastomoses, depending on the choice of the method of connection formation, varies from 4,5 % to 8,3 %, gastrointestinal anastomoses occur in 1,5 %-3,0 % of cases. Among patients older than 50 years, it occurs in 7,2 %, while among patients under 50 years – 3,3 %. Further research and development of an individualized approach to the selection of the method of applying esophagointestinal and gastrointestinal anastomoses, determination of criteria for predicting the risk of development and prevention of suture failure is necessary.
