[One-row suture in construction of biliodigestive anastomoses]

An experience with the construction of 138 anastomoses between the external bile ducts and the duodenum is analysed. The anastomoses were constructed in 47 patients with two-raw and in 91--with one-raw sutures. A partial nonhermeticity of the suture line was observed as seldom both in cases with one-raw and two-raw sutures. In constructing anastomoses one-raw suture is felt to be more preferable, since the formation of stoma with a one-raw suture is felt to be more preferable, since the formation of stoma with a one-raw suture simplifies the procedure.
