Emergency Intestinal Anastmosis

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the outcomes of emergency intestinal anastomosis after stapled and handsewn anastmosis. The main question it aims to answer are:

Is stapled intestinal anastmosis is better than handsewn anastmosis in emergency laparotomy?

Participants at surgical emergency unit:

* Had intestinal anastmosis either by stapler or handsewn. * kept in hospital for follow up and detection of complications like wound infection and leakage. * Either discharged or managed according to the complications * Outcomes were compared between the two groups

Treatment and study plan

emergency intestinal anastmosis surgery

Procedure

cases with intestinal trauma, perforation or intestinal obstruction had emergency laparotomy and intestinal anastmosis was done

Primary outcomes

  1. intestinal leakage

    Time frame: from one day to two weeks after surgery

    intestinal leakage output calculated in ml by weighing dressing or calculating the drain output

Secondary outcomes

  1. operation time

    Time frame: from incision time to closure (0 to 5 hours)

    operation time in minutes was calculated

  2. bleeding

    Time frame: from one hour to two days after surgery

    bleeding amount was calculated in ml

  3. hospital stay

    Time frame: from one day to one month after surgery

    hospital stay was recorded in days

  4. post-operative pain

    Time frame: from one to three days after after surgery

    pain was evaluated by the visual analogue scale from 1 to 10. score 1 means least painful, score 10 means very painful
