Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, often requiring intestinal resection as a common treatment. However, re
To measure the influence of anastomosis techniques on the long-term relapse rate of CD by conducting a meta-analysis.
PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were searched until October 8, 2023. Patients who underwent intestinal resection due to CD were included. The in
From 2011 to 2023, six articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicated that Kono-S ana
Kono-S anastomosis has the potential to expedite the recuperation of CD and diminish relapse hazards; however, additional larger trials are necessary to authenticate its effectiveness.
Core Tip: There is no agreement in academic studies regarding the impact of Kono-S and traditional anastomosis on patients' recurrence after Crohn's surgery. Here, we present a primary inclusive meta-analysis exploring the effect of Kono-S and traditional anastomosis on the recurrence of Crohn's disease following surgery. The hospital stay post-surgery, the incidence of postoperative complications, the proportion of Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIa, the postoperative recurrence rate, and the Rutgeerts score were examined in patients who underwent the two techniques.
