Explanation

"Completion of the anastomosis" refers to the final step in a surgical procedure where two parts of the body, such as blood vessels or sections of the intestine, are connected together. This is often done after a part of the body has been removed due to disease or injury, and the remaining parts need to be reconnected to function properly. The term "anastomosis" itself refers to the connection made between these two parts. So, when the anastomosis is completed, it means the connection has been successfully made.
