The authors draw attention to the possible use of a biofragmentable anastomotic ring (BAR) for anastomosis of the gut, used by the authors for construction of an anastomosis after acute resection of the colon under particularly risky conditions with infection and advanced deterioration of the intestinal wall. In both instances when this alternative method was used the postoperative course was uneventful and the patients were discharged without complications into domiciliary treatment.
