Comparison of hand sewn and stapled anastomosis in ileocolic surgeries (original) (raw)

2015

Abstract

Ileocolic surgeries for various indications can be performed using staplers or sutures, and evidence based inference shows definite advantages with staplers over suturing in most of the studies. The present retrospective case control randomized study was undertaken to compare hand sewn and stapled techniques of ileocolic surgery in terms of outcome with respect to various variables and indications. Outcome from the study indicate that Anastomosis by stapling devices in ileocolic surgery has definite advantage over hand sewn anastomosis in terms of less operative time, early return of bowel sounds, passage of first flatus, resumption of oral feeding, and easy applicability in fast-track surgeries.
