bowel anastomosis
Bowel anastomosis is a surgical procedure that reconnects two sections of the intestine after a damaged or diseased part has been removed. Surgeons carefully join the healthy ends together to restore the flow of intestinal contents and maintain proper function. This process often involves suturing or stapling the ends to create a secure, leak-proof connection. The goal is to help the bowel heal properly, minimize complications, and ensure normal digestion and absorption resume as quickly and safely as possible.
