Intracorporeal Versus Extracorporeal Anastomosis in Crohn’s Disease: Recurrence and Perioperative Outcomes After Minimally Invasive Ileocecectomy

Key Points

• Evaluate the safety and outcomes of intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis in Crohn’s disease patients undergoing ileocecectomy.
• Compared outcomes of intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis techniques
• Assessed complication rates and length of hospital stay
• Measured endoscopic, clinical, and surgical recurrence rates post-surgery
• Intracorporeal anastomosis showed a reduced complication rate
• Length of hospital stay was decreased with intracorporeal anastomosis
• No significant impact on recurrence rates for endoscopic, clinical, or surgical outcomes.
