title: [Intestinal anastomosis by biodegradable rings].
abstract: During an 9-month period (March to November 1992), six children underwent an intestinal anastomosis by means of a biofragmentable ring (BAR). Patients ages ranged from 5 to 16 years old. There were no mayor complications at surgery. The main technical problems was the difference of size between BAR and intestinal lumen. No patients in which BAR was used have presented fistulae, dehiscence or anastomotical stenosis.
