Abstract
A new method for protecting intestinal anastomoses in patients at high risk of anastomotic dehiscence or fistula formation is described here in. This method involves raising a seromuscular flap on a pedicle from the stump of the intestine to be anastomosed. The anastomosis is perf ormed, then covered with the seromuscular flap.
