Within five years a total of 264 anastomoses were performed on 241 patients in a continuous extramucosal single-layer end-on suture technique with polydioxanone. In 133 small bowel, and 131 colonic anastomoses there were no leakages as the only complications attributable to the procedure. Both anastomotic failures occurred after colonic resections, for a 1.5% dehiscence rate. Small bowel anastomoses healed without complications.
