Concavo-convex oblique anastomosis technique for jejuno ileal atresia.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the role of end-to-end oblique bowel anastomosis in bowel atresia.


METHODS
End-to-end oblique anastomosis was done in 25 neonates of bowel atresia and the results were compared with traditional method of end to back anastomosis in 25 cases.


RESULTS
We found less mortality and morbidity (5%) in our technique as compared to end to back technique (20%).


CONCLUSIONS
We recommend this technique, as anastomosis is wide with less angulations, flow of effluent is linear, and there is less force exerted over post-anastomotic side wall.
