Clinical study on the efficacy comparison between ileotransverse colon overlap anastomosis and π-shaped anastomosis in laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy
To compare the safety and efficacy of ileotransverse colon Overlap and π-shaped anastomosis techniques in laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy (LRRH).
Key Findings:
No significant preoperative baseline differences between groups (P > 0.05).
Overlap group had shorter anastomosis/operative time (P < 0.01) and milder postoperative inflammation (P < 0.01).
Overlap group showed faster nutritional/gastrointestinal recovery (P < 0.01) and earlier liquid diet tolerance (P < 0.01).
No intergroup difference in clinical anastomotic leakage incidence (P > 0.05).
Interpretation:
Overlap anastomosis is preferable for short-term recovery in LRRH, but the study did not demonstrate superiority in reducing clinical anastomotic leakage due to limited sample size, which may impact clinical decision-making.
Limitations:
Limited sample size affecting statistical power, particularly for rare events like anastomotic leakage.
Study primarily focused on short-term efficacy rather than long-term outcomes, which may limit generalizability.
Conclusion:
Overlap anastomosis offers advantages in short-term recovery, but results should be interpreted with caution due to study limitations, highlighting the need for larger studies.
