Aetiology of disruption of intestinal anastomoses

Irvin, T T, Goligher, J C·1973·Journal of British Surgery

Abstract

Various factors have been cited in the aetiology of disruption of intestinal anastomoses but their relative clinical importance is uncertain. A retrospective study was made of 204 patients treated by resection and standard end-to-end anastomosis of the intestine. Clinical evidence of anastomotic dehiscence occurred in 14 per cent of cases and the incidence of dehiscence was significantly increased in cases where faecal loading of the bowel obtained and after operations involving low anterior resection of the rectum or surgery for fixed tumours. The presence of a defunctioning colostomy did not remove the threat of anastomotic complications. A significant reduction in preoperative plasma proteins was found in patients who developed anastomotic dehiscence and the incidence of disruption was highest in patients over the age of 60 years.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
