Explanation

Anastomotic stricture is a medical term for a narrowing or blockage that can occur in a tube-like structure in the body, such as the intestines or blood vessels. This can happen after surgery when two ends of a tube are joined together, a process known as anastomosis. The area where they are joined can sometimes become narrow or blocked, which can cause problems with the flow of substances through the tube. This condition can lead to various symptoms depending on the location and severity of the blockage.
