Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the outcomes of emergency intestinal anastomosis after stapled and handsewn anastmosis. The main question it aims to answer are: Is stapled intestinal anastmosis is better than handsewn anastmosis in emergency laparotomy? Participants at surgical emergency unit:
- Had intestinal anastmosis either by stapler or handsewn.
- kept in hospital for follow up and detection of complications like wound infection and leakage.
- Either discharged or managed according to the complications
- Outcomes were compared between the two groups
