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.
