[Use of the omental mesh graft in protecting intestinal anastomoses. Experimental research]. / L'uso dell'innesto omentale a rete nella protezione delle anastomosi intestinali. Ricerca sperimentale.

The faultless seal of the intestinal anastomosis makes up a very important event of abdominal surgery. This work proposes an original experimental method to reinforce the intestinal anastomosis and to prevent the complications due defective seal of the sutures. The results obtained show that this method reduces remarkably the possibility of peritonitis due to the filtration or dehiscence of reinforced anastomosis as regards a control group not treated with omental mesh graft.
