Core Tip

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.
