Summary
The decision between hand suture or stapler was tested for the large bowel in randomized trials whereas retrospectively only in the upper gastrointestinal and respiratory tract. No clear difference was seen concerning patient's security and cost-time consumption. The stapler is more comfortable but the handsuture technique is still recommended. By the stapler anatomically very difficult anastomoses can be performed. Whether this is an advantage for the patient has to be tested because the technical progress may decrease physical function (incontinence!) and quality of life. In summary, the stapler, if applied critically, seems to be useful.
Zusammenfassung
Die Frage Hand- oder Maschinennaht wurde am Dickdarm in randomisierten Studien geprüft, dagegen nur retrospektiv am oberen GI-Trakt und der Lunge. Keine wesentlichen Unterschiede ergaben sich bei der Sicherheit des Patienten und der Zeitersparnis. Der Stapler ist komfortabler. Die Handnaht muss jedoch sicher beherrscht werden. Der Stapler erlaubt die Anlage anatomisch sehr schwieriger Anastomosen. Der Vorteil dieser Indikationserweiterung für den Patienten ist daran zu prüfen, ob das technisch Machbare zu Verlusten von Funktion (Inkontinenz) und Lebensqualität führt. Insgesamt erscheint die kritisch angewendete Maschinennaht vorteilhaft.
