[Initial experiences in creation of anastomoses in abdominal surgery using implants with shape "memory"]

The article analyses the first experience in 230 operations for creation of compression anastomoses in abdominal surgery of the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, and common bile duct by means of implants with shape "memory". Complications occurred in 10% of cases, the mortality rate was 3.04%. The suggested method simplifies the operative technique, shortens the duration of the operation, and reduces the incidence of postoperative complications (anastomositis, incompetence of sutures, reflux gastritis, dumping syndrome).
