(1) Evidence of a remote surgical anastomosis was noted.(2) A period of starvation is common practice after gastrointestinal surgery during which an intestinal anastomosis has been formed.(3) After surgery, the patient developed leakage along the anastomosis that ultimately required four additional procedures, including the creation and take down of an ileostomy, during a seven-month period.(4) Despite meticulous suturing, telescoping techniques, or covering the anastomosis with pedicles of vital tissues, dehiscence may still occur.(5) The anastomosis is completed by inserting the coupling member, with the graft vessel attached, into the anchor member.(6) a new technique of intestinal anastomosis was devised(7) The surgeon frees up the affected segment of the bowel, removes the diseased portion, and rejoins the proximal and distal edges with a surgical anastomosis whenever possible.(8) collateral veins are likely to develop across the anastomosis within a few months(9) All of the varieties of the ophthalmic artery described above may be explained as resulting from the enlargement of normal anastomotic vessels, the regular trunk being more or less diminished or even obliterated.(10) Approximately 8 years after this, he underwent repair of an aneurysmal area that had developed in the right ventricular outflow tract at the anastomotic site of the pulmonary artery that was related to the Blalock-Taussig shunt.(11) We found a significant array of anastomotic vessels between the supratrochlear and angular artery and also the presence of multiple vessels that seemed to be encompassed by both the paramedian and midline forehead flaps.(12) The nutritional supply by a network of anastomoses of small caliber only may be an explanation for these findings.(13) Clips were placed at the left edge of the applicator cone, and the second field was placed to encompass the previous area of tumor recurrence to the left upper pelvic sidewall near the original anastomotic site of Mr T's sigmoid resection.(14) Surgery in patients who are obese has anticipated levels of morbidity and mortality, and severe life-threatening complications, such as pulmonary embolism and anastomotic leakage, do occur.
