The authors present information on the use of a modern sutureless anastomotic connection by means of a biofragmentable ring--BAR (Biofragmentable Anastomotic Ring) which was used in patients to restore the continuity of the GIT after resections in the upper portions of the digestive tract. The authors present their initial clinical experience and emphasize the importance of visualization of biofragmentable anastomoses by gastroscopic examination in case of postoperative complications with the possibility of therapeutic provisions, if necessary.
