In this video, Dr Willem Bemelman describes the 3 main factors to achieve the perfect anastomosis, and discusses the last one: technical integrity. However, there is no perfect technique. Various test techniques are explained using diagrams and studies on specific techniques (e.g. air leak testing). Dr. Bemelman also gives examples from his own cases. Nonetheless, tests can give us insufficient information. Dr. Bemelman explains some techniques to deal with this problem and discusses the overview technique.
