Review Meta Analysis Comparative StudyIntracorporeal Versus Extracorporeal Anastomosis in Laparoscopic Right Colectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
To compare intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) and extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) in laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC) in terms of intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. ⋯ Our meta-analysis suggests that the IA for LRC improves cosmesis and results in better postoperative recovery outcomes without increasing intraoperative and postoperative complications. Furthermore, a large randomized control study is warranted to compare the short-term and long-term outcomes of those two anastomosis techniques.
