This is a single-centre prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled comparative study Methods Prior written informed consent will be obtained from all the study subjects after explaining them the study protocol. Randomization for each patient will be predetermined by a random number generator and performed using random permuted blocks of size 10. Participants will be randomly assigned to undergo either single layered extra-mucosal intestinal anastomosis (Group-A) or double layered intestinal anastomosis (Group-B) by opening a sealed opaque envelope indicating the technique to be used. These envelopes will be placed in the operating room and will be drawn sequentially just before surgery. At this point, each patient will be considered randomized. The study participants and the care providers who follow up the patients in the postoperative ward will be unaware of the type of anastomosis
