Core Tip
Core Tip: This review assesses and compares two side-to-side anastomotic configurations (isoperistaltic and antiperistaltic) following right hemicolectomy. Current literature does not identify any anastomotic configuration as superior over the other. Thus, the most appropriate approach is to master both anastomotic techniques and select between the configurations based on each individual case scenario.
