Inclusion Criteria

Patients more than 18 years requiring anastomosis of either small or large bowel for various causes, during the study period in the department of surgery will be included in the study group

Patients undergoing hand-sewn end to end bowel anastomosis, or side to side anastomosis or end to side anastomosis will be included in the study for elective and emergency procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients requiring anastomosis to the rectum, or duodenum will be excluded as both the ends of the bowel may not be fully mobilized for a double-layered anastomosis. Patients requiring anastomosis to the stomach are also excluded because of presumably increased risk of haemorrhage from stomach.

Patients in which the surgeon believes that either one of the suturing techniques could not be possible due to technical concerns such as oedema or scarring.
