A comparative study between Single Layer versus Double Layer Intestinal Anastomosis,was undertaken at Department of Surgery,Bankura Sammilani Medical College & Hospital,Bankura from April 2019 – September 2020,which included 74 patients, comprising 2 groups: Group A-Single layer and Group B- Double layer with equal number of patients randomly allotted in each group. More number of patients had anastomotic leak in Group B than Group A, though not statistically significant. Difference of Mean Duration of Anastomosis with both groups is statistically significant.Mean Duration of Hospital Stay with both groups is statistically insignificant. Although more number of patients had anastomotic leaks in Group B than Group A,it was statistically insignificant.

 Background: Intestinal anastomosis is one of the common surgeries for cases like bowel obstruction, incarcerated hernias, benign and malignant tumours of small and large bowel. The ideal intestinal anastomosis does not leak and allow normal function of the gastrointestinal tract. This study compared single layer versus double layer  intestinal anastomosis in terms of duration, postoperative complications like anastomotic leak.Methods: A total of 100 patients admitted in Hamidia hospital, based on history and clinical examinations and radiological examinations, placed in two groups, group A (single layer anastomosis) and group B (double layer anastomosis) and were operated by a qualified surgical specialist. Data analysis of anastomotic time, anastomotic leak was done and statistical tests of significance were applied. A p value less than 0.05 is considered as significant.Results: In group A (single layer) the time required to perform in 30 (60%) patients is between 16-20 minutes. In double layer, maximum were done in between 26 to 30 minutes, 32 (64%). In our study of 100 patients, there were 6 anastomotic leaks, of which four of them were in group A (single layer) and 2 of them in group B (double layer).Conclusions: In our study, the duration required to perform a single layer intestinal anastomosis is significantly lesser when compared to double layer. There is no significant difference in anastomotic leak between two groups. Less time with no difference in complications, a move towards single layer anastomosis should be preferred.

Objective:To evaluate the safety regarding anastomotic failure of single layer interrupted extra mucosal intestinal anastomosis in comparison with double layer intestinal anastomosisMethodology:This prospective comparative study was conducted in surgical A unit of Lady reading Hospital Peshawar from 1st June 2007 to 1st February 2008 (8 months).Patients were divided into two groups, each comprising 60 patients. First 60 consecutive patients were included in Group A, for single layer extra mucosal anastomosis while Group B included last 60 consecutive patients for double layer inverting anastomosis (continuous inner and interrupted outer Lambert sutures). All the cases were admitted through OPD and emergency. The safety of two techniques of anastomosis was analyzed by comparing the outcome in terms of complications.Results:In this study, anastomosis leakage occurred only in 4 (3.33%) patients, one (1.67%) in group A and three (5%) in group B with a P-Value 0.138. Mean age of patient in group A was 36.15 years (+/- 6.0 years) and in group B was 33.25 years (+/- 5.5 years).Conclusion:Single layer extra-mucosal anastomosis has least anastomotic leakage and other complication like wound infection, septicemia, and collection and burst abdomen than in patients with double layer investing anastomosis.

Background: There are still conflicting views regarding suitability of single layer and double layer anastomotic technique. This prospective single blinded randomized comparative study conducted at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences to assess various aspects viz. safety, efficacy, duration of hospital stays and chances of perforation in single- and double-layer anastomotic surgery.Methods: 26 patients each in single layer and double layer anastomosis group were included in the study.  Single layer intestinal anastomosis was carried using extramucosal technique with 2-0 vicryl suture (round body). Double layer anastomosis was carried out using interrupted 3-0 silk lembert sutures for the outer layer and a continuous 2-0 vicryl for the inner layer. End to end colocolic, end to end ileocolic, end to side ileocolic, end to end ileoileal, side to side ileoileal, end to end jejunoileal and end to end jejunojejunal anastomosis were performed. Each group was compared for anastomotic leak, time required to construct the anastomosis, cost incurred, and length of hospital stay.Results: Findings of the study indicated that single layer is economical in comparison to double layer anastomosis and took significant less time to operate. There was no significant difference in hospital stay of the patients in two groups. There was no anastomotic leak in group-S (single layer) while one (3.8%) patient in group-D (double layer) suffered from anastomotic leak.Conclusions: It was concluded that single layer anastomosis method is beneficial and safe as it required less operative time, suturing material and no leak took place after surgery.

Background:  Ileal perforation peritonitis is a common surgical emergency in the Indian subcontinent and in tropical countries. Formation of an intestinal stoma is frequently a component of surgical intervention for diseases of the small bowel. The technique for stoma reversal has remained controversial is the use of either one or two layers of sutures for anastomosis.Methods:  Sixty patients with ileostomy were taken for study .These patients divided in two groups A and B, 30 each. These patients were taken up for ileostomy closure in single layer (group A) (n-30) &double layer (group B) (n-30). Results: 60 Patients of ileostomy were studied, divided equally in 2 groups, A decreased intra operative time was seen in Group A when compared with Group B with no any significant comparative complication in these groups. Conclusion: Two-layer anastomosis for ileostomy closure offers no definite advantage over single layer anastomosis in terms of postoperative leak and other complications. Single layer ileostomy closure technique is safe, easy to perform and simply to taught. Considering duration of the anastomosis procedure and medical expenses single-layer intestinal anastomosis may prove the choice of procedure for most of the surgeons.

Background: The main objective was to compare the outcome of single layer interrupted extra-mucosal sutures with that of double layer suturing in the closure of colostomies. Subjects and Methods: Sixty-seven patients with closure colostomy were assigned in a prospective randomized fashion into either single layer extra-mucosal anastomosis (Group A) or double layer anastomosis (Group B). Primary outcome measures included mean time taken for anastomosis, immediate postoperative complications, and mean duration of hospital stay. Secondary outcome measures assessed the postoperative return of bowel function, and the overall mean cost. Chi-square test and student t-test did the statistical analysis.. Results:  Thirty-two patients were allocated to group A and 35 patients to group B. The mean time taken for anastomosis was significantly shorter in group A (23.25 ± 1.20 min in group A vs. 36.71 ± 1.93 min in group B; P<0.001). A significant shorter duration of hospital stay was seen in group A (7.00 ± 1.778 days in group A vs. 9.74 ± 1.990 days in group B; P<0.001). The detection of bowel sound was substantially quicker in group A as compared to group B (4.56 ± 0.50 days in group A vs. 6.46±0.50 days in group B; P<0.001). There was no significant discrepancy between the two groups regarding anastomotic leak rates (P= 0.543). The mean cost of double layer intestinal anastomosis method was significantly higher than that of single layer anastomosis (P<0.001). Conclusions: The use of single layer extra-mucosal anastomosis of the intestine has the advantage of taking less time, less morbidity and cost-effective to perform with the same rate of anastomotic leak in the closure of colostomy.

Background: Intestinal anastomosis is essential to maintain the continuity after resection. There has been constant controversy due to various repair options. Adequate apposition can be achieved by either single- or double-layer anastomosis which may affect the post-operative outcome.Objective: To compare the outcome of single-layer versus double-layer anastomosis of small and large intestine.Method: This prospective comparative study was conducted over a period of 16 months, and included 78 patients who underwent intestinal anastomosis (without diverting stoma) after fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were randomized into double-layer and single-layer intestinal anastomosis groups by a computer generated series. Double layer anastomosis was constructed using inner continuous Polyglactin 3-0 and outer interrupted Silk 3-0, while single layer anastomosis was done with interrupted PDS 2-0.Result: The mean age was 39.79±17.78 years. A total of 59% were operated in emergency room while 41% in elective setting. Overall mean time for anastomosis was 31.81±6.03 (21-50) minutes. In double- and single-layer intestinal anastomosis mean time was 34.35±5.80 (26-50) and 29.13±5.08 (21-45) minutes respectively, which was statistically significant (p value < 0.05). Single-layer was completed 5 minutes earlier than double layer anastomosis in average. Clinical anastomotic leak was seen in six (7.7%) patients, three in each group. Eight (10.3%) patients had surgical site infection: 3 in double-layer and 5 in single-layer groups. One (1.3%) mortality was seen, from single-layer anastomosis group.Conclusion: Single-layer anastomosis can be constructed in significantly shorter time with similar complication rate when compared to doublelayer anastomosis.Health Renaissance 2015;13(2): 134-143

Background: Intestinal anastomosis is most commonly performed surgical procedure both in emergency and elective settings therefore its leak and disruption is a common cause of post-operative morbidity and mortility. Gut anastomosis heals by the same mechanism as that of wound healing. The submucosa, is the strongest layer of gut wall therefore ideal anastomotic technique is the one which includes apposition and approximation of this layer. Aim:The outcome of comparative study of single layer continuous extra mucosal technique and single layer interrupted extra mucosal technique for the anastomosis of small bowel. Methods:This was a prospective study based on randomization and was carried out in surgery department of ANMMC&H, Gaya from 1 st March 2019 to 29th February 2020. Total Fifty patients were included in study requiring small intestine anastomosis and were divided in two groups based on randomization. Group Aincluded those patients in which the anastomosis performed by single layer continuous extra mucosal technique and Group B patients underwent single layer interrupted extramucosal technique for creation of anastomosis, Group Aincluded 24 patients (n=24) and Group B 26 patients (n=26) . The demographic features, time taken to create anastomosis , postoperative complications , number of deaths if any and hospital stay in days were recorded on a printed proforma and data analysis was done through computer soft ware SPSS 16. Results: Group Aand B were similar as for as the demographic features, postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay are concerned. 4.2% patients of Group A and 7.7% of Group B developed anastomotic dehiscence with non signicant p value. Mean time taken for creation of anastomosis was 10.04 minutes in continuous extra mucosal anastomosis group (Group A ) and 19.2 minutes in interrupted extra mucosal anastomosis [Group B ] (p=0.0001) Overall hospital mortality was 2%. Conclusion: Single layer continuous extra mucosal technique is as safe as interrupted extra mucosal anastomosis technique but can be performed in shorter time and can be a cost effective alternative for construction of bowel anastomosis.

Background: Gastrointestinal anastomosis has been a part of research since decades and is one of the key skills in surgeon’s armamentarium. This study compared the outcome of single layer anastomosis with double layer anastomosis.Methods: The study was designed as a prospective comparative study and 29 cases were included in the study during December 2016 to September 2017, who consented for being part of the study. Patients were alternatively allotted into the either group. Group A underwent single layer anastomosis and Group B underwent double layer anastomosis. Outcome parameters were analysed in the form of ‘duration required to perform anastomoses, ‘duration of hospital stay’ and ‘dnastomotic leak.Results: Mean duration required to perform anastomosis in Group A is 21.64±1.60 minutes and in Group B is 29.6±2.02 minutes. The difference between the mean duration required for anastomosis between the two groups were statistically significant (p<0.005). Mean duration of hospital stay in Group A was 12.35±1.72 days and Group B was 12±2.44 days (difference was statistically insignificant), 3 (10%) cases in Group A and 2 (6.8 %) cases in Group B developed anastomotic leak and the difference was statistically insignificant.Conclusions: Our study concluded that there is statistically significant difference between the single layer anastomosis and double layer anastomosis in terms of time taken to perform anastomosis, however there is no difference in postoperative anastomotic leak and duration of hospital stay.

Background: Gastrointestinal anastomosis has been excited interest in our day to day surgical practice. We have compared efficacy, advantages, disadvantages, and complications following intestinal resection-anastomosis using extra-mucosal interrupted single layer suturing or continuous all layer suturing.Methods: This comparative study included 50 cases (either in emergency or elective undergoing bowel resection and anastomosis), comprising of 2 Groups (25 cases in each Group) between January 2019 to June 2021 at Midnapore Medical College and Hospital. Patients data, operative findings, duration of anastomosis and length of hospital stay, post-operative complications of all patients were followed till discharge.Results: Our comparative study have shown that- the mean duration for intestinal anastomosis in Group A (extra-mucosal interrupted single layer) and Group B (continuous all layers) were 21.43 minutes and 14.35 respectively. Considering duration of the anastomosis continuous all layers intestinal anastomosis appears to represent in shorter duration, anastomotic leak was noted in 3 patients (6%). Anastomotic leak was observed in 1 patient extra-mucosal interrupted single layer bowel anastomosis whereas two patients in the Group of continuous all layered bowel anastomosis had leak (p value 0.5-not significant) and the mean duration of hospital stay in the Group A and Group B were 7.32 days and 7.92 days respectively. (p value -insignificant).Conclusions: Duration required to perform a continuous all layer bowl anastomosis is lesser when compared to an extra-mucosal interrupted single layer intestinal anastomosis. There is no significant difference in complications, final outcome and duration of hospital stay between two Groups.

Background: Resection and anastomosis of small bowel is one of the common surgical procedure encountered in routine and emergency cases. There are various techniques of anastomosing the resected intestine.Objectives: To know the efficacy of single layer anastomosis over double layer anastomosis in terms of anastomotic leakage, wound infection, mortality and time consumed.Methods: A comparative cross sectional analytical study was carried out at department of General Surgery at Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital, Kohalpur, Banke, Nepal from January 2013 to December 2013. Altogether 62 patients who underwent resection and anastomosis of small bowel were considered for this study. Patients who were included in this study were equally divided into two groups. Group A (n=32) underwent single layer anastomosis and group B (n=30) were subjected to double layer anastomosis. In both the groups anastomotic leakage, wound infection, mortality and time consumed were recorded and compared.Results: Altogether 62 patients were included in the study. The study showed anastomotic leakage 3 (9.37%) in Group A and 2 (6.67%) in Group B. Wound infection was 6 (18.75%) in Group A and 4(13.33%) in Group B and mortality was observed in only 1(3.12%) patient in Group A due to uncontrolled sepsis. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in anastomotic leakage, wound infection and mortality as shown by respective p (0.696, 0.562, 0.329) values. However the time required for single layer bowel anastomosis was less in comparison to double layer bowel anastomosis.Conclusion: Based on our data, the technique of single layer of bowel anastomosis does not increase the rate of anastomotic leakage, wound infection and mortality however time required for anastomosis is less as compared to double layer anastomosis. Therefore this study concludes that there is no added benefit of double layer of anastomosis over single layer bowel anastomosis.Journal of Nepalgunj Medical College Vol.12(1) 2014: 35-38
