For period of 6 year.</p> <p><strong>Subject:  </strong>Total of 174 patients undergoing construct-ion of intestinal anastomoses.</p> <p><strong>Evaluation:  </strong>For anastomotic leakage.</p> <p><strong>Results:  </strong>Overall 13 (7.47%) patients developed anas-tomotic leakage, 3 (1.72%) patients had sub-clinical and 10 (5.74%) clinical (obviously) anastomoitc leak-age. 7 (8.04%) patients and 6 (6.89%) developed ana-stomotic leakage, in group "A" and "B" respectively.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:  </strong>Anastomotic failure is a reflection of operating skills, decision making of surgeon and post-operative care. There is no significant difference in anastomotic dehiscence between continuous and inter-rupted single layer serosubmucosal technique if pati-ents selection is proper, however interrupted method is comparatively easy to construct in less accessible site.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Annals of King Edward Medical University}, author={Memon, Jan Muhammad and Solangi, Roshan Ali and Baloch, Imamuddin and Memon, M Rafique and Bozdar, Ali Gohar and Naqvi, Syed Qaisar Hussain}, year={2015}, month={Aug.}, pages={27} }
