The apparatus includes an anastomosis device including an anvil assembly (30) having a shaft (28) which is selectively attachable to a tubular body portion； and a hub (100) for locating an annular structure (200) between the adjacent intestinal sections (68). The hub includes a central sleeve (102) defining a lumen for receiving the shaft (28) of the anvil assembly therein. The central sleeve forms a connection portion for engaging a feature on the anastomosis device and connecting the hub to the device. The apparatus further includes an annular structure operatively connected to the sleeve and extending radially outwardly therefrom.1/5 CD ~ 00 C' 0 C 0'
