Vicryl 3 0 suture

Patients were divided into 2 groups for analysis based on the type of anastomosis performed during laparoscopic hemicolectomy; the IA group and the EA group. The choice of anastomotic technique was at the surgeon’s discretion. It was mainly based on preoperative and intraoperative assessment of patient’s morphological characteristics and body mass index (BMI). Both hand-sewn and stapled bowel anastomoses were included when examining EA. Both intracorporeal and extracorporeal vessels ligation were performed, based on the surgeon’s preferences.
For patients in the IA group, stapled side-to-side anastomosis was performed. Whether an isoperistaltic or antiperistaltic anastomosis was performed was at the surgeon’s discretion. After division of the ileum and the mid-transverse colon using an EndoGIA 60 mm (Covidien), a traction point was placed on both bowels (Fig. 1). Enterotomies were created on the antimesenteric sides using electrocauterization. A common channel was obtained using an EndoGIA 60 mm. The common enterotomy was sutured intracorporeally using a continuous suture of Maxon 3-0 V-Loc (Covidien). The staple line was reinforced with seromuscular Vicryl 3-0 suture (Ethicon).

After testing with the PS was complete, the sensors and the implant were
removed. Reconstruction with the FLA was performed according to the
technique of Lee et al,^{22 (link)}
tubularizing and trimming it to a thickness between 6 and 7 mm
and a length of 3 cm (Figure 1) and securing the graft with 1 continuous Vicryl
3.0 suture (Ethicon). The sensors were then reinserted.
