## Abstract We report our experience using an interrupted single layer extramucosal suture technique to construct both large and small bowel anastomoses in children. There were 75 anastomoses constructed in 68 children without any clinical evidence of a leak or any complications attributable to the

## Abstract A total of 466 single layer upper gastrointestinal anastomoses were made in 349 patients during an 11-year period. Six (1ยท3 per cent) anastomoses leaked. Radiological leakage was seen in one of 24 (4ยท2 per cent) oesophagogastricljejunal anastomoses. There were no leaks after 66 gastroje
Laser-assisted tissue fusion has been investigated as a new technology to enhance the healing of soft tissues. Laser fusion of intestinal anastomoses shows promise as a method to obtain primary healing while eliminating a foreign-body reaction associated with the sutures. This paper reviews the expe
