Kono-S Anastomosis in Crohn's Disease: A Retrospective Study on Postoperative Morbidity and Disease Recurrence in Comparison to the Conventional Side-To-Side Anastomosis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe rates of postoperative recurrence following ileocecal resection due to Crohn's disease remain highly relevant. Despite this fact, while the Kono-S anastomosis technique initially demonstrated promising results, robust evidence is still lacking. This study aimed to analyze the short- and long-term outcomes of the Kono-S versus side-to-side anastomosis.
methodsA retrospective single-center study was performed including all patients who received an ileocecal resection between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2021 at the Department of Surgery at the University Hospital of Wuerzburg. Patients who underwent conventional a side-to-side anastomosis were compared to those who received a Kono-S anastomosis. The short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed for all patients.
resultsHere, 29 patients who underwent a conventional side-to-side anastomosis and 22 patients who underwent a Kono-S anastomosis were included. No differences were observed regarding short-term postoperative outcomes. The disease recurrence rate postoperatively was numerically lower following the Kono-S anastomosis (median Rutgeert score of 1.7 versus 2.5), with a relevantly increased rate of patients in remission (17.2% versus 31.8%); however, neither of these results reached statistical significance.
conclusionThe Kono-S anastomosis method is safe and feasible and potentially decreases the severity of postoperative disease remission.
