Importance of the diameter of the mechanical suture in rectal surgery in relation to benign anastomotic stenosis. Cross-sectional observational study
There is a significant lack of knowledge about the incidence of BAS and its relationship with the anastomotic diameter. Increased awareness of these issues is needed, aiming to use the widest possible mechanical sutures (> 31 mm) and considering the need for dilation devices to reduce the incidence of BAS.
