What is anastomotic edema?

Anastomotic edema is usually caused by poor blood reflux, local inflammation, etc. It needs to be analyzed specifically.
1. Poor blood reflux: anastomotic edema may be caused by poor blood reflux. When blood reflux is poor, a large amount of fluid will accumulate in the extracellular fluid at the anastomosis, resulting in anastomotic swelling.
2. Local inflammatory stimulation: anastomotic edema may also be caused by infection or digestive fluid leakage, resulting in damage to the anastomotic tissues, causing inflammation and poor lymphatic return, resulting in a large accumulation of fluid.
Anastomotic edema may also be caused by other reasons, it is recommended that once patients find themselves with anastomotic edema, they should consult a doctor in time to improve the relevant examination and standardize the treatment.
