In a surgical procedure known as an anastomosis, the small intestine is attached to the rectum to restore continuity of the digestive tract. The surgeon will carefully align the ends of the small intestine and rectum and create a secure connection using sutures or staples. This procedure allows for the passage of food and waste through the gastrointestinal system, enabling normal digestive function to resume. Follow-up care and monitoring are essential to ensure proper healing and function of the newly created connection.
