Abstract

Elective intestinal anastomosis is a frequently used surgical procedure in pediatric surgery. Many factors can affect anastomosis site healing or leakage, for example intraoperative contamination, circulation of intestinal bounds, anemia, surgical technique, type of surgery (elective or emergency), tension in suture line; a meticulous effective anastomosis technique is necessary to optimize surgical outcome and minimize anastomotic complications. One of the most serious complications after intestinal surgery is leakage, that can be lethal and it’s regarded as a devastating postoperative complication. Because of this, we decide to make this review in order to provide surgeons a guideline to improve anastomosis in the 3 most critical surgical moments: pre, trans- and post-operative.
