Prerequisites for anastomoses in intestinal surgery are: 1. no tension on the suture line, 2. preservation of vascularity, 3. cut bowel ends without malignant or severe inflammatory disease. Healing is influenced by general conditions, operative technique, kind and strength of suture material, number of sutures and layers and so on. Usually, a one step procedure with end-on single layer anastomosis is recommended.
