Abstract
A technique whereby leakage from an anastomosis and problems directly resulting from such leakage are eliminated. The technique is an anastomosis procedure for securing intraintestinal bypass graft formed preferably of a soft latex or silastic tube with a radiopaque axial line for x-ray observation after implantation. The ends of the tube are sutured or stapled to the mucosal or submucosal linings, and after a period of about 10 to 15 days during which the anastomosis is healing, the bypass graft separates naturally from the wall of the intestine, and is finally expelled naturally from the anus. This graft prevents leakage at the anastomosis and thus substitutes for and makes unnecessary a colostomy or any other diversionary procedure.
