TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - RESECTION OF SMALL INTESTINE A1 - Ellison, E. Christopher A1 - Zollinger, Robert M. PY - 2016 T2 - Zollinger's Atlas of Surgical Operations, 10e AB - This resection is usually an emergency procedure utilized in the presence of sudden obstruction, such as gangrenous intestine in a strangulated hernia, or from volvulus. Less frequently, it is used in mesenteric thrombosis and obstruction by tumor. Since the end-to-end anastomosis restores more accurately the natural continuity of the bowel, it is usually preferable to a lateral anastomosis; however, the surgeon should be familiar with the side-to-side anastomosis, which is favored when there is marked disparity between the sizes of the ends of bowel to be anastomosed.
