A recent study conducted at the University of North Dakota compared the stapled vs handsewn techniques for closing common enterotomies during bowel anastomoses. The research found that there was no significant difference in leak rates between the two techniques, with the stapled technique being faster on average. The study concluded that the stapled technique is an acceptable and potentially preferred method, especially in emergent settings. This peer-reviewed research provides valuable insights for surgeons performing these procedures. [Extracted from the article]
