An Analysis of the Literature and a Case Study on the Successful Surgical Treatment of a Crohn's Patient Using a Kono-S 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
Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Treatment involves immunosuppression, and surgical intervention is sometimes necessary for patients who do not respond to medical treatment. However, recurrence of the disease is a common complication after surgery. Aim: This case report focuses on a patient with CD who underwent ileocecal resection with Kono-S anastomosis, a surgical technique aimed at reducing recurrence rates. Case description: A 43-year-old male with a known history of CD for 13 years presented with recurring moderate-to-severe lower abdominal pain associated with belching, nausea, subjective fever, and sweats. The patient was on infliximab and azathioprine. Investigations confirmed irregular skip mural thickening of ileal loops with significant luminal narrowing along with stenotic fibrostrictures of the ileum, and mild bilateral sacroiliitis. The patient was treated surgically with an ileocecal resection and a Kono-S anastomosis operation. This case report highlights the advantages and disadvantages of the Kono-S anastomosis technique in treating patients with recurrent CD. Clinical significance: Kono-S anastomosis demonstrates a relative safety profile and carries several potential benefits. However, its wider adoption is limited due to insufficient familiarity among surgeons and the possibility of complications. Nevertheless, embracing Kono-S as the standard anastomosis method holds the promise of significant advantages for individuals with CD. Conclusion: This case report highlights the potential benefits of Kono-S anastomosis in reducing CD recurrence and provides valuable insights for further research and clinical practice.
