Of the 468 cases, there were two deaths that could be directly attributed to anastomotic disruption. There were four anastomotic problems in the variety of cases, which included 83 gastric resections, 81 gastrojejunostomies, seven cholecystojejunostomies, 43 jejunojejunostomies, 81 small-bowel resections with anastomoses, 154 colon resections, and 19 colostomy closures.
