title: [Biodegradable compression ring in intestinal anastomosis].
abstract: The Authors report their experience with the use of biofragmentable anastomosis ring ("Bowel Anastomosis Ring" B.A.R.--Valtrac): 34 patients underwent colic resection and bowel anastomosis by B.A.R. No complications related to the anastomosis were recorded. The ring was always discharged in the third postoperative week and the endoscopic follow up showed no late complications. It is concluded that B.A.R. is a safe technique and represents a good alternative to hand or mechanical anastomosis with a favorable cost/benefit ratio.
