Summary

The double-stapled technique for anal anastomosis after rectal excision offers fewer complications and better outcomes compared to hand-sutured methods. This approach simplifies the procedure, potentially eliminating the need for temporary ileostomy.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Restoring intestinal continuity via anal anastomosis after sphincter-saving rectal excision is oncologically, technically, and functionally feasible.
  • This study details the authors' experience with anal anastomosis techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes of hand-sutured versus double-stapled anal anastomosis.
  • To evaluate complication and failure rates associated with different anastomosis techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 223 patients who underwent anal anastomosis.
  • Comparison between hand-sutured transanal (92 patients) and double-stapled transabdominal (131 patients) techniques.
  • Analysis of coloanal (39 patients) and ileoanal pouch (184 patients) anastomoses.

Main Results:

  • Double-stapling resulted in shorter operation times, less blood loss, and reduced hospital stays.
  • Complication rates were significantly lower with double-stapling (7%) compared to hand-suturing (43%).
  • Failure rates were also lower with double-stapling (2%) versus hand-suturing (27%).

Conclusions:

  • The double-stapling technique is associated with fewer complications and superior outcomes for anal anastomoses.
  • This technique may render temporary diverting ileostomy unnecessary.
  • The double-stapling method is recommended for anal anastomoses, acknowledging potential learning curve effects.
