Abstract
Small intestinal resection and anastomosis become a necessity when segments of small intestine are deemed nonviable or nonfunctional during colic surgery. Short-term survival rates after small intestinal resection are now mostly reported to be around or above 80%. This chapter deals with the techniques for and potential complications of small intestinal resection and anastomosis.
