This guide demonstrates a technique for bowel anastomosis in gastrointestinal surgeons, suggesting better healing outcomes.
Bowel anastomosis is a fundamental skill for gastrointestinal surgeons, who must be proficient in both stapled and hand‐sewn methods. Various inverting suture techniques have been described, each aiming to optimize security and healing. We describe a hand‐sewn, two‐layer side‐to‐side anastomosis using a continuous inverting suture with counter‐traction, accompanied by illustrative images and a video demonstration.
