A CLINICAL STUDY OF THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE OUTCOME OF INTESTINAL RESECTION AND ANASTOMOSIS

Abstract

Background :Intestines form a major part of human digestive system. Both in terms of length as well as surface area, the small and large intestines constitute about 90% of the digestive system. They play a major role in absorption of nutrients, water and other micro nutrients. The study titled “A clinical study of the factors affecting the outcome of intestinal resection and anastomosis” is a humble attempt to analyse the factors affecting the outcome of bowel anastomosis, so as to implement the factors which produce a favourable anastomotic healing.
