Compression anastomoses in the surgical treatment of patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract

Abstract

The results of a study of titanium nickelide devices used for the formation of compression anastomoses in patients with digestive system diseases and describes the techniques of compression fistula formation using these devices has been presented. Besides, the paper presents clinical experience in the formation of anastomoses between the organs of gastrointestinal tract for the treatment of 96 patients with various pathologies of digestive organs. 116 compression anastomoses were applied in our clinic. Anastomotic dehiscence was found in three cases (2,6%) which are described in details in the article. In all patients, the devices evacuated from the digestive tract in a natural way for 14 days. Fibrotic scope examination performed after an operation showed that created anastomoses corresponded to the dimensions of used structures. A soft scar by primary healing type was formed on the parts with compression anastomosis. Using titanium nickelide devices for the formation of compression anastomoses between the gastrointestinal organs will improve the quality of fistula formation, reduce mortality and postoperative complications.
