1. A kit for performing an intestinal anastomosis enema in situ in an intestine having an anastomosis, the kit comprising:
an anchor configured to be anchored within the intestine upstream of the anastomosis;
a sheath coupled to the anchor, the sheath configured to extend downstream from the anchor and across the anastomosis to thereby protect the anastomosis; and
an enema device comprising a perforated, annularly shaped tube configured to distribute an enema composition, the perforated, annularly shaped tube configured to be positioned in the intestine upstream of the anastomosis, the enema device further comprising a supply tube having a first end coupled to the perforated, annularly shaped tube and a second end configured to receive an injection of the enema composition for delivery into the perforated, annularly shaped tube upstream of the anastomosis such that the enema composition flows downstream to the anastomosis.
