Intestinal anastomosis by invagination and gluing

Critical analysis of cyanoacrylate in intestinal and colorectal anastomosis

“…Different from those experiments, Linn et al reported a canine study, in which no anastomosis‐related mortality occurred. Anastomoses with MCA had less inflammation than the conventional group, but stricture occurred in 40% of the anastomoses when a new invagination technique was used …”

“…A high mortality rate of 22% (8/35) was also found when Gennaro et al used an intraluminal gelatin stent to create a colonic MCA anastomosis in a rat model . Different from those experiments, Linn et al reported a canine study, in which no anastomosis‐related mortality occurred. Anastomoses with MCA had less inflammation than the conventional group, but stricture occurred in 40% of the anastomoses when a new invagination technique was used …”

“…Four studies were included that report the use of MCA . A sutureless anastomosis was created in all of them, and none of these studies had positive outcomes (Table ).…”

“…Five studies used an everted anastomosis; none of these had positive results. Three studies constructed an invaginated anastomosis, and two of them showed positive outcomes …”
