Summary
Intracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis in laparoscopic right colon resection is uncommon but feasible. Experienced surgeons can achieve good outcomes in selected patients, with low surgical site infection and mortality rates.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Laparoscopic right colon resection is a standard surgical procedure.
- Intracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis is a less common technique in this setting.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the current literature on intracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis in laparoscopic right colon resection.
- To evaluate its safety and efficacy for benign and malignant conditions.
Main Methods:
- A narrative review of studies identified through Medline, Embase, CINAHL, ACP Journal Club, and Cochrane databases.
- Keywords included "laparoscopic right colectomy" and "intracorporeal anastomosis".
Main Results:
- Thirteen studies with 611 patients were included.
- Overall surgical site infection rate was 2.7%, anastomotic leak rates ranged from 0-8.5%, and postoperative mortality was 0.12%.
Conclusions:
- Intracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis in laparoscopic right colon resection is not widely performed.
- It offers potential benefits when performed by experienced surgeons in carefully selected patients.
