    This study compares intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) and extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) in segmental resections for colon cancer.

  • 2

    The study included 328 patients, with 199 undergoing IA and 129 undergoing EA, from a large tertiary colorectal referral center.

  • 3

    No significant differences were found in baseline characteristics or operation time between the IA and EA groups.

  • 4

    Previous studies suggest IA may enhance recovery and reduce morbidity, but this study aims to provide more comprehensive data.

  • 5

    The study utilized multivariate logistic regression and propensity score analysis to minimize selection bias and confounding.
