[Bar-Valtrac--a modern alternative to conventional intestinal anastomosis?].
The authors describe a modern method of intestinal anastomoses without suture after resections of the gastrointestinal tract, by means of a biofragmentable ring used in 62 patients where the continuity of the digestive tract was restored by means of BAR-Valtrac (Davis Geck Co, USA). The perspective alternative of the common manual and stapler technique BAR anastomosis is evaluated on the basis of data from the literature and the authors own clinical exoerience with regard to the main parameters of healing of the anastomosis and immediate postoperative complications, among which dehiscence of the anastomosis is, no doubt, most important.
