Intestinal anastomosis - layers, nomenclature, phasis of healing, Lembert stitch, and Connell stitch

Hello, and welcome back to our channel where we talk about different medical procedures and surgical methods. Today we are going to dive deep into a crucial aspect of gastrointestinal surgery, intestinal anastomosis. Intestinal anastomosis is a surgical procedure that connects two parts of the intestine, allowing for the passage of food and other waste materials. In this video, we’ll talk about the different types of anastomosis and the phases of healing after the operation.
