Correction to Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol 2024; 9: 774–75

Abstract

Click B, Holubar SD. Targeting the mesentery with surgery in ileocolic Crohn's disease: where do we stand? Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol 2024; 9: 774–75—In this Comment, the last sentence of the third paragraph should read “While previously described extended mesenteric excision approaches incorporate a high ligation of the ileocolic pedicle, van der Does de Willebois and colleagues assess a modified approach that spares the ileocolic trunk.” The first sentence of the fourth paragraph should read “In the SPICY trial, a total of 139 surgically-naive patients with ileal or ileocolonic Crohn's disease were randomly assigned to either extended mesenteric excision sparing the ileocolic trunk or a traditional side-to-side anastomosis with a mesenteric sparing approach.” The second sentence of the last paragraph should read “Furthermore, whether the extended mesenteric excision approach in SPICY, which spares the ileocolic trunk, differs from an approach that takes the trunk is unknown and deserves exploration.” These corrections have been made to the online version as of Dec 11, 2024.
