Abstract
ALVAREZ-VILLASENOR, Andrea S. et al. Factors associated with dehiscence of intestinal anastomosis. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.2, pp.233-242. Epub Nov 08, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000018.
Objective:
To identify the factors associated with dehiscence of anastomosis of the small and large intestine.
Method:
92 anastomoses of the small and large intestine were included in patients over 18 years of age, performed in 2012-2016. Associated factors were evaluated in pre, trans and postoperative.
Results:
Anastomosis dehiscence was presented in 13%. A significant association was found for previous medication intake (p = 0.05; odds ratio [OR]: 1.17; 1.024-1.33) and primary anastomosis (p = 0.05, OR: 3.6; 0.92-14.5). In patients with dehiscence, the hospital stay was increased.
Conclusion:
The presence of dehiscence of anastomosis was similar to that reported in the literature. The associated factors were previous medication intake, and primary anastomosis.
Keywords : Intestinal anastomosis; Dehiscence; Anastomotic leak.
