Intracorporeal Versus Extracorporeal Anastomosis in Minimally Invasive Ileocecectomy or Ileocolic Resection for Crohn's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive right colectomy is a standard treatment for Crohn's disease. ICA significantly reduced overall postoperative complications compared with ECA (OR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.28-0.70; CONCLUSION: ICA was associated with fewer postoperative complications than ECA during minimally invasive ileo.
