Abstract

The technique of single-layer continuous polypropylene colorectal anastomosis is described. The authors' experience with their initial 100 cases is analyzed in detail. No clinical leaks or anastomotic strictures were noted in a two-year follow-up period. The technique is safe, easily learned, rapidly performed, and it does not add significantly to the cost of medical care. The authors' total experience with this anastomosis now exceeds 350 cases.
