title: [Enteral anastomosis with the biofragmentable Valtrac ring. A prospective study].
abstract: In a prospective study, 150 enteral anastomoses using the new Valtrac biofragmentable anastomosis ring (BAR) are described. The manipulation involved was simple to learn and standardised intestinal anastomoses could be created at various bowel segments. No stenoses or postoperative bleeding occurred, the suture dehiscence rate was low. The use of these rings can be recommended to achieve a high level of standardisation for colon anastomoses and small bowel-colon anastomoses without restriction, whereas for other localisations the number of cases is too small to allow a final assessment to be made.
