A surgeon sees a necrotic bowel when operating a child for inguinal hernia. What is true about the resection and anastomosis of the bowel
Correct Answer: The surgeon must use the single layer, Extra mucosal suture technique
Description: The standard technique used currently for resection and anastomosis of the bowel is one layer--Extra mucosal suture techniqueThis technique has now become widely accepted, although it is essential that this is not confused with a seromuscular suture technique. The extramucosal suture must include the submucosa because this has a high collagen content and is the most stable suture layer in all sections of the gastrointestinal tract.
