Core Tip

Core Tip: We examined the study by Kayano et al on intracorporeal anastomosis for colon cancer, with a focus on its equivalence to extracorporeal anastomosis in managing bacterial risk and achieving oncological outcomes. A detailed examination of current bowel preparation methodologies that distinguishes between mechanical bowel preparation, oral antibiotics, or their combination and specific impact on surgical site infections (SSIs) is needed. Further research that precisely links bowel preparation methods with SSI rates are required to enhance patient outcomes and surgical safety during colorectal procedures. This critical insight urges a reevaluation of current practices and paves the way for substantial procedural improvements.
