Abstract
Abstract In a randomized prospective trial performed on patients undergoing colonic surgery, comparison was made between catgut and polyglycolic acid sutures as a continuous all‐coats layer in a two‐layer anastomosis, where the seromuscular layer in all cases was interrupted silk. The incidence of anastomotic dehiscence was significantly less when polyglycolic acid sutures were used .
