Systematic review compares anastomotic leak in single-stapled versus non-single-stapled techniques, suggesting benefits for SST.

Key Points

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of single-stapled and non-single-stapled techniques in minimizing anastomotic complications following colorectal surgery.
Systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA 2020 guidelines.
Included five observational studies with 1647 subjects (SST = 587, NSST = 1060).
Evaluated primary outcomes: anastomotic leak and length of hospital stay, using random-effects models.
SST significantly reduced anastomotic leak rates compared to NSST (OR 0.43; 95% CI 0.26–0.70; p = 0.0007).
Length of hospital stay was shorter with SST (SMD − 0.43; 95% CI − 0.75 to − 0.11; p = 0.008).
No significant differences were observed in operative time, blood transfusion, or major postoperative complications.
