Intestinal resection is one of the most common surgeries performed on urgent indications, the most difficult is the decision in favor of the formation of primary anastomosis in the case of primary infection of abdominal cavity, multiple defects of the intestinal wall, as well as the general serious condition of a patient. In order to improve the methods of diagnosis and prevention of post−surgery complications, as well as personification of surgical tactics of treatment in the patients undergoing anastomotic surgeries in intestine, the results of treatment of 96 patients were analyzed. The level of serum cryoglobulins was determined by the method of A. E. Kalovidoris with modifications. The results of surgical treatment were evaluated according to the classification of D. Dindo et al. (2004). The use of cryoglobulin levels before surgery can significantly affect surgical tactics: at a low degree it is possible to perform resection of a segment of small intestine with the formation of primary small intestinal anastomoses; at average − it is possible to perform small−intestinal anastomoses with unloading intestinal stoma or with the location of the anastomosis extraperitoneally (if possible) and decompression of the anastomosis with an incubation probe; at high − it is expedient to supplement performance of an anastomosis with a variant of an enterostomy or "delayed" anastomoses, at a severe general condition of patients it is expedient to form final small intestinal stoma. Determining the level of cryoglobulinemia as a marker of the prognosis of failure of the sutures of intestinal anastomoses and the use of differentiated surgical tactics depending on the level of this index contributes to a significant improvement in direct results of surgical treatment of the patients undergoing resection of small intestine segments. The proposed tactics virtually eliminate the implementation of multi−stage surgical interventions and helps to reduce the duration of treatment of patients, reduce the level of post−surgery complications and mortality. Key words: cryoglobulinemia, surgical treatment, small intestine, anastomoses.

Purpose: The goal of the study was to investigate the influence of independently varied parameters on the tear-out force of small intestinal anastomoses of abattoir pigs using methods which provide a high grade of standardization and reproducibility. Methods: The tear-out force of sutured small intestine tissue was recorded, while independently varying the thread type (I), the number of stitches (II), the stitch-to-stitch distance (III), and the stitch to sample-edge distance (IV). Results: The tear-out force was shown to be significantly higher when using Vicryl 3-0 in comparison to PDS II 3-0, the significance being highest for small numbers of stitches. Given a fixed number of stitches, small stitch-to-stitch (stitch-to-edge) distances <~5.0 mm yield a significantly lower tear-out force than larger stitch-to-stitch distances. Conclusion: Standardization of methods used in the investigation of anastomoses of the small intestine is desirable and shown to be possible. Significant dependence of the tear-out force on some of the investigated parameters can be observed.
