Every situation is different for each case and person, so it wouldn’t be correct to treat each operation the same way. That’s why it’s important to know about the different kinds of anastomotic bleeding and their risk factors.

Once you find yourself in the intraoperative situation, certain prevention methods can be taken to avoid bleeding. Giving recommendations on this subject, Doctor Dana Sands covers various methods such as stapler choice, sutures and the use of endoscopies. Moreover, the management of bleeding in case of pelvic dissection is treated specifically.

Bleeding can also be prevented when the operation has ended, through methods such as expectant management, colonoscopy, embolization and surgical intervention, which are discussed in the video.
