View on mechanical solidity of anastomosis

Abstract

In modern abdominal surgery purulent septic complications are the main reason of lethality in postoperative period. At the same time the problem of surgical suture reliability of large intestine remains very actual. Different methods of study of anastomosis physical containment (such as pneumo-, hydro-pressure, study of intestinal wall rupture force) are used for evaluation of the quality of formed anastomoses. In literary review there is a comparative description of different methods of anastomosis mechanical solidity determination; the self-descriptiveness of these methods, their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed; questions of study of large intestine anastomosis elasticity are discussed.
