Core Tip
Core Tip: Intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) in laparoscopic right colectomy offers significant advantages over extracorporeal anastomosis, including a reduced incision size, faster postoperative recovery, and lower risk of complications. The study by Wu et al reinforced these benefits, demonstrating improved short-term outcomes without an increase in complications. Despite challenges, such as a longer learning curve, the integration of robotic surgery may enhance the feasibility of ICA. Future research, including randomized controlled trials, is necessary to establish ICA as a standard technique in minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
