[Use of microsurgical technic in abdominal surgery]

Results of the surgical treatment of 172 patients with tumors of the proximal part of the stomach and colon are analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the method of forming the esophago-intestinal and colono-intestinal anastomoses. Suture incompetence and peritonitis were shown to appear much more rarely after using a microsurgical technique than after using surgical methods.
