Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the frequency of postoperative complications depending on the number of suture layers in colo-colonic and ileo-colonic anastomoses Hypothesis: double-layer suture has less anastomotic leakages compared to single-layer suture.

Conditions

  • Colo-colonic Anastomoses
  • Ileo-colonic Anastomoses

Interventions

PROCEDURE

double layer-suture

Hand-sutured end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis performed by double-layer continuous technique (monofil thread)

PROCEDURE

Single-layer suture

Hand-sutured end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis performed by single-layer continuous technique (monofil thread)
