Single-Layer Continuous Versus Double-Layer Continuous Suture in Colonic Anastomoses-a Randomized Multicentre Trial (ANATECH Trial)

摘要

Purpose Apart from stapling methods, single-or double-layer continuous hand sutures are established techniques for colonic anastomoses. It is unclear which hand suture technique has superior anastomotic safety. This randomized trial evaluated the incidence of postoperative complications depending on anastomosis technique.
