Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Leakage of intestinal anastomoses remains an issue in view of the increasing number of patients who need reconstructive interventions in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Researchers around the world are actively looking for methods of strengthening intestinal anastomoses. The literature presents various approaches to sealing intestinal anastomoses in experimental animals using allografts, biological sealants, polymer film materials, etc. This article classifies and analyzes innovative methods of strengthening intestinal anastomoses to prevent their leakage. We also describe a concept of developing polymer membranes for interventions on hollow organs and our experience in this field of work and making of medical devices at the premises of a university research laboratory.
