[Sutures in reconstructive procedures in biliopancreatic surgery]

The question of the suture technique in digestive surgery as in reconstructive biliopancreatic surgery remains of interest to all surgeons throughout the world. On the basis of the biochemical process in anastomose healing the author accepted the one-layer operative technique as a routine. The dilemma was only in pancreatic reconstructive surgery, where the two-layer technique was also performed. Minimal postoperative morbidity with no mortality justifies our stand. Our conclusion is based on 241 operated patients in a ten years period.
