Background |
Single-stapled double-pursestring technique for colorectal anastomosis to the mid-rectum or upper rectum is the most commonly used technique in the single institution reported here. The investigators evaluate single-stapled double-pursestring anastomosis after anterior resection of the rectum performed at a single institution.
Methods |
Medical records of patients who underwent single-stapled double-pursestring anastomosis between January 2000 and May 2005 were analyzed to identify postoperative anastomotic complications. Patients with previous radiation, diverting stoma, coloanal, and hand-sewn and double-stapled anastomoses were excluded. The primary goal was to identify postoperative anastomotic complications.
Results |
Of 160 patients, 153 (96%) no septic complications. One patient (.6%) developed anastomotic leak requiring diversion. Of the 4 patients with pelvic abscesses (2.5%), 2 were treated with antibiotics and 2 with computed axial tomography–guided drainage.
Conclusions |
Single-stapled double-pursestring anastomosis is reliable, with very low rates of leak, subsequent diversion, and pelvic abscess (.6%, .6%, and 2.5% respectively).
