Are there any cons to having transection?

I have a staple line disruption. My doctor said he was just going to repair it with double the original number of staples. I have seen a million arguments on this web site favoring transection. However, I would like to hear some arguments for leaving it attached. It seems like there must be some good reasons that not all surgeons do it. I'd appreciate any help I can get on this matter.
