Abstract

To evaluate the mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the anastomotic complex, 151 anastomotic disruptions (representing a 20-year-study) were analyzed from records of St. Frances General Hospital, Pittsburgh. These leaks are serious postoperative problems which require individualized treatment. Prevention should be the main approach to controlling the syndrome.
