    This study presents a modified single-layer intestinal anastomosis technique, improving ease of suture insertion and reducing complications. The modified technique resulted in zero clinically apparent leaks in 170 procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Techniques
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery
    • Anastomosis

    Background:

    • Double-layer and stapled anastomoses in intestinal surgery can be time-consuming or have questionable integrity.
    • Single-layer anastomoses have raised concerns regarding their safety and integrity.
    • The Gambee single-layer anastomosis, described in 1951, is a practical double-layer technique with comparable long-term results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To modify existing hand-sewn intestinal anastomosis techniques.
    • To decrease anastomotic complications and enhance the ease of suture insertion.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the modified technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified single-layer hand-sewn anastomosis technique was developed.
    • The technique was applied to 170 intestinal anastomoses performed between July 1982 and June 1984.

  • Clinical outcomes, focusing on anastomotic leaks, were reviewed.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified technique demonstrated ease of suture insertion.
    • No clinically apparent anastomotic leaks were observed in the 170 procedures reviewed.
    • The technique appears to maintain the integrity and safety of the anastomosis.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified single-layer anastomosis technique is a safe and effective alternative.
    • This technique offers advantages in terms of reduced complications and improved ease of use compared to traditional methods.
    • Further investigation into long-term outcomes may be warranted.
