Abstract
Background
Kono-S anastomosis has gained increasing interest although evaluation of its impact on reducing Crohn’s recurrence shows conflicting results. This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes for patients with Crohn’s disease requiring surgery with Kono-S compared to conventional anastomosis.
Methods
A systematic review and meta-analysis included patients with Crohn’s disease treated with bowel resection and Kono-S anastomosis reconstruction versus a comparator arm of conventional anastomosis technique. Recurrence outcomes examined were endoscopic recurrence rates, mean postoperative Rutgeerts score, surgical recurrence, clinical recurrence, and postoperative biologics use. Short-term postoperative outcomes include anastomotic leaks, surgical site infection, postoperative ileus, and mean operative time.
Results
A total of 873 studies were identified with 15 remaining after abstract review encompassing 1501 patients, 765 with Kono-S and 736 with conventional anastomosis. Recurrence was significantly lower in the Kono-S arm, with endoscopic recurrence rates of 41% vs 48% (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.73–1.00, p = 0.05) and surgical recurrence rates of 2.7% vs 21.0% (RR 0.13, 95% CI 0.06–0.30, p < 0.001). There was a significantly lower anastomotic leak rate in the Kono-S arm when compared to conventional anastomosis, 1.7% vs 4.9% (RR 0.37, 95% CI 0.19–0.74, p = 0.005). Mean operative time was similar between both groups.
Conclusions
Kono-S is a safe and feasible anastomotic technique with lower rates of endoscopic and surgical postoperative recurrence. While we await further trials to substantiate this benefit, Kono-S anastomosis should be considered as an important tool in the armamentarium of a surgeon in anastomotic construction to reduce recurrence.
期刊介绍:
Techniques in Coloproctology is an international journal fully devoted to diagnostic and operative procedures carried out in the management of colorectal diseases. Imaging, clinical physiology, laparoscopy, open abdominal surgery and proctoperineology are the main topics covered by the journal. Reviews, original articles, technical notes and short communications with many detailed illustrations render this publication indispensable for coloproctologists and related specialists. Both surgeons and gastroenterologists are represented on the distinguished Editorial Board, together with pathologists, radiologists and basic scientists from all over the world. The journal is strongly recommended to those who wish to be updated on recent developments in the field, and improve the standards of their work.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1965 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted. Reports of animal experiments must state that the Principles of Laboratory Animal Care (NIH publication no. 86-23 revised 1985) were followed as were applicable national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals).
