Abstract
Objective: To evaluate universal intestinal suture in rehabilitation of patients with single-row anastomoses after elective upper gastrointestinal tract surgery.
Material and methods: A single-center study included 142 patients over 8-year period. There were 72 (50.7%) pancreaticoduodenectomies and 70 (49.3%) gastric resections and gastrectomies. The rehabilitation program included single-layer anastomoses using universal intestinal suture, intestinal drainage for decompression and enteral nutrition, therapeutic and diagnostic endoscopy to stimulate motor evacuation function, patency of anastomoses and assessment of anastomositis.
Results: Intestinal drainage for decompression and enteral nutrition was used for 6 (4; 7) days after surgery. Intraluminal endoscopy was performed after 9 (7; 11) days. In patients with anastomositis grade 0 (26.5%) and 1 (62.4%), we observed minimal inflammation along intestinal suture line (mean hospital-stay 16 (13; 20) days). In patients with anastomositis grade 2 (8.5%) and 3 (2.6%), we observed surface erosions and ulcers in the anastomosis zone (mean postoperative hospital-stay 20 (16; 27) days). Postoperative complications unrelated to anastomoses were diagnosed in 17.6% of cases; 12% of patients underwent redo surgery. Mortality rate was 2.8%.
Conclusion: Universal intestinal suture in rehabilitation of patients with single-layer anastomoses contributed to uncomplicated healing of anastomoses in 88.9% of patients with anastomositis grade 0-1 and reduced the incidence of anastomositis grade 2-3 to 11.1%, as well as hospital-stay after elective upper gastrointestinal tract surgery.
