%X background: the use of mechanical anastomoses reduce the length of gastrointestinal surgical procedures. aim: to report the experience with mechanical functional terminal anastomoses in bowel surgery. material and methods: prospective non randomized registry of all mechanical anastomoses carried out in a surgical service. results: a total of 327 patients (193 women) were analyzed. two hundred and one anastomoses were ileo-colonic and 126 were entero-enteral. seventeen percent of patients experienced some complication. fourteen required a new operation due to peritonitis or deep infection of the surgical site. the global rate of anastomotic dehiscence was 3.1%. no differences in the rate of complications between surgeons with experience and trainees were observed. conclusions: mechanical anastomoses in bowel surgery are safe and require a short learning period to be used.
