Rotated intestinal anastomoses.
Abstract
Using a technique of end-to-end intestinal anastomosis, based upon a 90 degree axial rotation, the conjunction of both mesenteric edges without peritoneal serosa is avoided; theoretically, this would be the weakest area of such an anastomosis. This theory was experimentally tested in the colon of rabbits and the technique compared with the usual, so-called exact facing technique, justifying its clinical use in the hope of improving the results of gastrointestinal operations.
