Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An anastomosis is a surgical connection created between two structures, such as blood vessels, intestines, or ducts. Vagotomy refers to the surgical removal or cutting of a portion of the vagus nerve to reduce stomach acid secretion, while an abdominoperineal resection (AP resection) is a surgical procedure to remove the rectum, anus, and part of the colon. Therefore, the best choice for a surgically joined structure is anastomosis.
