Zusammenfassung
In dem Zeitraum 1977–1981 wurden bei 143 Patienten 234 Dünndarmanastomosen angelegt. Acht Anastomosen zeigten eine Nahtleckage (3,4%), bei neun entwickelte sich eine Fistel (3,8%): die Gesamthäufigkeit von Wundheilungsstörungen bei Dünndarmanastomosen war 7,3%. Bei gleichzeitigem Vorliegen intraabdominaler Infektionen betrug die Häufigkeit 14,8%, ohne diese 0,8%. Die Resultate einer Therapie durch Übernähung oder Resektion mit sofort anschließender Reanastomosierung waren enttäuschend. Befriedigendere Ergebnisse wurden durch Aufheben der Anastomosen, Anlage einer ‚split enterostomy’ unter Wiederherstellung der Kontinuität in einer zweiten Sitzung erzielt. Die Mortalität betrug 3/17 (18%). Ein Literaturüberblick wird gegeben.
Summary
In the period 1977–1981 234 small bowel anastomoses were constructed in 143 patients. Eight anastomoses showed leakage (3.4%) and from nine anastomoses a fistula developed (3.8%): a total rate of disturbed healing of small bowel anastomoses (7.3%). In the presence of intra-abdominal infection this rate was 14.8%, in the absence of infection 0.8%. The results of treatment with oversewing and with resection and immediate anastomosis were disappointing. Better results were obtained by dismantling of the anastomosis, establishment of a split-enterostomy and reestablishment of continuity in a second stage. Mortality was 3/17 (18%). The literature is reviewed.
