Abstract
The research described in this thesis had 2 main goals. The first goal was to evaluate the clinical results of the Excimer Laser Assisted Non-occlusive Anastomosis (ELANA) technique. The most important subgroups of patients were separately evaluated in the first part of this thesis (chapters 2 to 5). The second main goal was to further develop the ELANA technique towards a less invasive, easier, faster, but equally safe anastomosis technique. The developmental steps which were taken were described in the second part of this thesis (chapters 6 to 10)
