Abstract
RESULTS: Overall, 2 of 19 patients in suture group developed SSI consisting of bile leakage and intraabdominal abscess in one each, while 10 of 30 patients in stapler group developed SSI. In univariate analysis, incidence of overall SSI in suture group tended to be lower than that in stapler group, which however was not significant (p1⁄40.095). On the other hand, incidence of incisional SSI in suture group was significantly lower than that in stapler group (p1⁄40.034). In multivariate analysis, digestive tract reconstruction was the only independent risk factor for overall SSI (p1⁄40.001).
