[Physiopathology of intestinal anastomoses and dehiscences].
A lot of mechanisms of healing of intestinal anastomoses has been explained. A leading role in the intestinal wall is made by the submucosal tunica, where collagen synthesis and degradation process take place, but local and systemic factors are present by a definite causal action. Technique of suture, materials and surgeon's experience are of fundamental importance for the success of operation, even if in some cases it is important to take in consideration the clinical situation: emergency or not, the patient's state and age, concomitant diseases, pharmacological or radiotherapeutic treatments. Nowadays surgical research tends towards biochemical and molecular field to identify the factors, that speed up the healing process to use them in suturing materials getting a quick healing as soon as possible.
