The authors present their experience with biofragmentable anastomosis in the area of the colon in 42 patients where they used a biofragmentable ring Valtrac, Davis-Geck Co. to restores continuity after resection. The authors focus their attention on the peroperative technical difficulty of construction of the anastomosis proper and on complications encountered during the immediate postoperative course. The most serious among them is, no doubt, dehiscence of the anastomosis. Based on this experience, the authors express their opinion on the simplicity of the implementation proper of a BAR anastomosis and problems of postoperative complications.

Background: Clinical results of colic anastomosis using biofragmentable anastomosis ring (BAR-Valtrac) are presented. Such a method showed to be a real alternative technique to the usual ones.
Methods: Eighty-six colic anastomosis using BAR are collected, 76 of which performed as elective surgery and 10 in emergency.

Unlabelled: In 1985 a biofragmentable anastomosis ring (BAR) Valtrac was introduced for intestinal anastomoses. From August 1994 trough March 1998, 49 intestinal anastomoses were performed in 44 patients: there were 28 jejunoileostomies, 8 colocolostomies and 3 gastrojejunostomies. In 5 patients after total gastrectomy, two anastomoses with the use of Valtrac ring were made during the same operation.

The authors describe a modern method of intestinal anastomoses without suture after resections of the gastrointestinal tract, by means of a biofragmentable ring used in 62 patients where the continuity of the digestive tract was restored by means of BAR-Valtrac (Davis Geck Co, USA). The perspective alternative of the common manual and stapler technique BAR anastomosis is evaluated on the basis of data from the literature and the authors own clinical exoerience with regard to the main parameters of healing of the anastomosis and immediate postoperative complications, among which dehiscence of the anastomosis is, no doubt, most important.

A total of 148 patients underwent colon resection between June 1993 and November 1994 at the General Surgery Division of Busto Arsizio Hospital; anastomosis was performed using BAR Valtrac in 58 patients (39%), namely 28 males and 30 women with a mean age of 66.3 years. Surgery was elective in 90% of cases and in 84% of patients was secondary to neoplastic pathologies.
