[End-to-side ileo-colonic anastomosis perpendicular to the band (30 cases) (author's transl)]

Over the last 3 years, the authors restore intestinal continuity after ileo-colonic removal by end-to-side anastomosis according to Bloch's technic the colonic incision is made perpendicular to the peritoneal band. This type of anastomosis, in view of the mode of distribution of the colonic arterioles does not cause any loss of blood supply as is sometimes the case on the antemesocolic border of the incision when it is made on the band. The first results appear very encouraging as in the first thirty cases there was only one case of breakdown of sutures in the anastomosis. The latter was not due to the technic but to recutting of the ileum in an area with a poor blood supply.
