Published: October 1991

Side-to-side anastomosis is a bad technique to restore intestinal continuity. In fact, it leads to the progressive distention of the cul-de-sac, which produces definite pockets of stasis and bacterial infection. Although it is well tolerated by a number of patients, it causes a number of gathered complications in others. This array of signs is called the blind pocket syndrome, the characteristics of which are described by the authors on the basis of a 76-case series, including 3 personal cases. They again condemn the side-to-side anastomosis and prefer end-to-end anastomosis, which prevents these disadvantages.
