[Colorectal anastomosis using a compression device].

Background: The most severe complication following an intestinal anastomosis is the dehiscence with the consequent development of sepsis, fistulas, stenosis, and death. For this reason the compression anastomosis (NiTi) system was developed, with the aim of reducing these complications.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, from 1 June 2012 to 30 August 2014, on total of 14 patients operated on the Humanitas Hospital Medical Group Coyoacán, the ASMED, and Clínica Médica Sur.
