Laparoscopic right colectomy with intracorporeal ileotransverse anastomosis (results of the pilot study)

Le résumé fourni par la source

AIM: to evaluate the safety of intra- and extracorporeal ileotransverse anastomosis in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: a pilot «case-control» study included two groups of patients, who underwent laparoscopic right colectomy according to a standardized technique. An intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) was formed in the main group (n = 20), in the control group — extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) (n = 18). RESULTS: in main group the postoperative complications rate was 20%, in the control group — 28% (p = 0.71). The postoperative hospital stay in the main group was significantly less than in control (5.0 vs 7.3 days) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: the postoperative complications rate in both groups was not significant, but postoperative hospital stay was shorter in IA group. A randomized controlled trial is required.
