title: [Efficacy and safety of domestic biofragmentable anastomotic ring in the intestinal anastomosis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the efficacy and safety of the domestic biofragmentable anastomotic ring (BAR) from Hangzhou in the intestinal anastomosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 134 patients who underwent intestinal anastomosis from February 2010 to April 2011 in the First Municipal People's Hospital of Guangzhou and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University were randomized into two groups. The Valtrac BAR from USA was employed in the control group while the experimental group used domestic BAR. The operative performance of the BARs, as well as the patients vital signs and bowel function, complications, fragmentation status of the rings were compared between two groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No significant difference was found between two groups in the operative performance, the fragmentation status of the BARs, the temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and bowel function (P>0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The domestic BAR possesses similar safety and efficacy with the Valtrac BAR in intestinal anastomosis.
