  • Title: Continuous vertical hemimattress suture for biliary-enteric anastomosis.
    Author: Moriura S, Kobayashi I, Hattori K, Oshiro T, Kawahara M, Matsumoto T.
    Journal: J Hepatobiliary Pancreat Surg; 2005; 12(6):467-9. PubMed ID: 16365820.
    Abstract:
    The continuous hemivertical mattress suture technique for biliary-enteric anastomosis has not been well reported in the literature. We used the technique with a double-armed monofilament absorbable suture (Glycomer 631) for 32 anastomoses in 31 patients. There was one anastomotic leakage (3.1%). The mean follow-up period was 683 days, during which time no patient developed anastomotic stenosis or cholangitis. The technique provided satisfactory results with lower cost than one-layer interrupted sutures.
