Background
Laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC) has become a gold standard. However, a major current concern is still whether anastomosis should be performed extracorporeally or entirely laparoscopically. This meta-analysis assesses and compares peri- and postoperative outcomes of intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) versus extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) in LRC.
Methods
The research used the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases for studies comparing IA with EA during LRC. Our main endpoint was parietal abscess. Secondary endpoints were 30-day morbidity, mortality, time to onset of gas and stools, length of stay, number of lymph nodes removed and postoperative incisional hernia rates. The MINORS criteria were used to evaluate the quality of the studies examined.
Results
Twenty-four articles comprising 3699 patients, published between 2004 and 2020, were included in this meta-analysis. After sensitivity analysis, IA was associated with a decrease in parietal abscesses (OR 0.526, IC 0.333–0.832, p = 0.006).
Conclusion
This meta-analysis finds that IA allows a decrease in parietal abscesses and time to first gas and stools, surgical repair and length of stay, with similar overall complications.
