Abstract EN
Background : Anastomosis may be done with the help of stapling devices, by using double layered suturing technique or by a single layer technique.
Objective: The aim of the study is to prove that a single layer continuous technique can be constructed in a significantly less time with similar rate of complications compared with two layers technique.
Patients and methods : A prospective study conducted in Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Iraq.
A total of sixty-four patients were included in this study.
They were divided into two groups; group A, 28 patients, single layer seromuscular continuous anastomosis was done and group B, 36 patients underwent conventional double layered anastomosis.
Results: There were, 15 male (53.6 %) and 13 (46.4 %) female within group A and 20 (55.6%) male and 16 (44.4 %) female within the group B.
There was no significant difference in gender distribution or mean age between or within groups.
Bullet and sharp nail injuries to the abdomen were the most common causative agents followed by malignant disease of GIT.
Wound infection was the most frequent complication in both groups as fourteen patient out of 64 (21.9 %) developed wound infection; 8 of them were among group B.
There was no significant difference in the incidence of anastomotic leakage; in group A was 3.6%, while in group B was 4.7 %.
The average time for the construction of the single layer anastomosis was 20 min and in double layer it was 35 min.
The difference in average time is statistically significant Conclusion : The single-layer continuous anastomosis requires less time to construct and has a similar risk of leakage compared with the two-layer technique.
It also costs less than any other method and can be safely introduced into a surgical training program.
