Abstract:
A best evidence topic has been constructed using a described protocol. The three-part question addressed was: does the anastomotic technique after ileocolic resection affects the recurrence rate in patients with Crohn's disease? Using OVID interface and PubMed interface, 16 articles were found; out of this 6 studies were deemed to be suitable to answer the question. The outcomes assessed were anastomotic recurrence rate. The best evidence showed that Kono-S ileocolic anastomotic technique is associated with significantly low recurrence rate in patient with Crohn's disease.
