Our data shows that the majority of anastomotic failures occur within the first 24 h. Thereafter, the frequency of failures decreases. We also found that the time between initial reconstruction and start of the salvage procedure influences the outcome of the revision negatively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
