Anastomoses

Anastomoses

In human anatomy, anastomosis refers to a connection or opening between two things, particularly between blood vessels or other tubular structures. The term is derived from the Greek term 'anastomosis,' which means 'outlet' or 'opening.' This natural network of connections plays a critical role in the survival and functionality of the human body.
Anastomoses can be formed at arterial, venous, and lymphatic vessels.
Arterial Anastomosis: These occur between arteries. They...

Area of Science:

Surgical innovation
Gastrointestinal surgery

Background:

The Kono-S anastomosis is a specific surgical technique.
Developing minimally invasive and efficient anastomotic methods is crucial in gastrointestinal surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and describe a Kono-S anastomotic technique utilizing standard surgical staplers.

Main Methods:

A novel stapled Kono-S anastomosis technique was developed.
The technique was applied in two patients, one with an abdominal approach and one with a transanal approach.

Main Results:

The stapled Kono-S anastomosis was successfully performed in both cases.
The specific approaches for abdominal and transanal stapled Kono-S anastomosis were detailed.

Conclusions:

The Kono-S anastomosis can be safely and effectively created using common surgical stapling devices.
This technique offers a viable option for gastrointestinal reconstruction.
