The authors propose to classify colorectal anastomoses by anatomical signs: high (supraampular), medial (ampular), low (subampular), utmost low (suprasphincteral) and sphincteral. Forty colorectal one row suture anastomoses were performed in patients with carcinoma of the rectum. Incompetent sutures were registered in 3 (7.5%) patients with subampular anastomoses. There were no lethal outcomes.
