anastomotic technique

Anastomotic technique refers to the surgical method used to connect two ends of hollow organs, such as blood vessels or sections of the intestine. The goal is to restore normal function by creating a secure, leak-proof joining. Surgeons carefully align the tissue edges, ensuring good blood flow and minimal tension. They may use sutures (stitches), staples, or other devices to hold the tissues together. Proper technique is crucial to promote healing, prevent leaks or blockages, and ensure the continued function of the connected organs.
