An anastomosis is the connection of two luminal structures, such as an arterial anastomosis used in vascular bypass or a colonic anastomosis used to restore colonic continuity after the resection of colon cancer.
The type of vascular repair depends on the extent of arterial damage. Primary repair with an end-to-end anastomosis is performed with a running or interrupted nonabsorbable monofilament suture, depending on the size of the vessel. A meticulous surgical technique must be used to avoid a purse-string effect.
