Single Layer Continuous suture for Small Bowel Anastomosis

Ankur Sharma, Rizwan Ullah Khan, Goonj Johri

Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Intestinal anastomosis is an integral part of surgeries on the digestive tract. Traditional double-layered technique for creating an anastomosis is time consuming and may be associated with more incidence of luminal narrowing. Surgical staplers help in reducing the time taken to create an anastomosis but are costly. Usage of single layer monofilament continuous suture may aid in faster anastomosis creation and has lesser chances of luminal narrowing.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
