THE RESULTS OF APPLICATION OF SINGLE-LAYER SUTURING OF INTESTINAL ANASTOMOSES IN URGENT SURGERY

Abstract

The application of single-layer suturing in urgent abdominal surgery is actual and unsettled problem that demands further inquiry. The object of this study was to evaluate the results of application of single-layer suturing in making of intestinal anastomoses in urgent abdominal surgery. 63 cases with urgent abdominal pathology are included, in the study. Forming of anastomose was realized with atraumatic suture material. A continuous suture was used in 41 (65 %) case. A separate knot suture was used, in the case of intestinal wall edema. 5 (7,9 %) complications were registered in postoperative period, which were not connected with the method, of the forming of anastomoses. Lethal outcomes occurred in 4 (6,3 %) cases. There was no anastomosis insufficiency. The usage of continuous suturing in forming of intestinal anastomoses is safe and. doesn't cause increase of number of postoperative complications.
