Abstract    Digestive tract reconstruction is an important step in surgical treatment of gastrointestinal neoplasm. Anastomotic stricture and anastomotic leakage are serious postoperative complications, which seriously affect the patients’ prognosis and quality of life, and aggravate their economic and psychological burden. Therefore, it is important for surgeons to pay attentions to the prevention and therapy of gastrointestinal postoperative anastomotic stricture. Surgeons should improve their own operation skills based on the principle of tumor free, strengthen the combined therapy of perioperative patients, adopt individualized therapy according to specific situation of patients and select the optimal digestive tract reconstruction. The best therapeutic effect is reducing the incidence of anastomotic stricture and increasing the survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal neoplasm in the same time.
