Bowel anastomosis using valtrac in urologic surgery
Valtrac, a biofragmentable anastomosis ring, was used in 10 patients who underwent total cystectomy and urinary tract reconstruction. The primary disease was bladder tumor, neurogenic bladder, and sigmoid colon cancer invading the bladder in 8, 1, and 1 of the patients, respectively. There were 8 il...

| Zusammenfassung: | Valtrac, a biofragmentable anastomosis ring, was used in 10 patients who underwent total cystectomy and urinary tract reconstruction. The primary disease was bladder tumor, neurogenic bladder, and sigmoid colon cancer invading the bladder in 8, 1, and 1 of the patients, respectively. There were 8 ileo-ileostomies and 2 ileo-colostomies. No patient developed anastomotic leakage or insufficiency. Symptoms of mild bowel obstruction were observed in 3 patients, but they improved with conservative management. The outcome was good in all the patients without further ileus during a follow-up period of 1 to 12 months (median: 7.3 months). The most important advantage of this device is that precise bowel anastomosis is standardized and can be achieved safely and quickly. Our findings indicate that the Valtrac system offers a reliable and reproducible alternative to conventional anastomotic techniques in urologic surgery |
