Feasibility and usefulness of the elongation of ileocolic pedicle with extended ileal resection on secure anastomosis after laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy: a retrospective observational study.

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
purposeTension-free ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) for ulcerative colitis (UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is important for avoiding anastomotic complications. We have employed the elongation of ileocolic pedicle (ICP) with extended ileal resection as one of the mesenteric-lengthening techniques. In this study, we examined the feasibility and usefulness of our mesenteric-lengthening technique.
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 60 patients for whom laparoscopic RPC with IPAA was electively planned for UC and FAP from January 2009 to December 2022. In 41 patients ("conventional group"), the ileum was cut flush to the cecum without ileal resection, and in 19 patients ("experimental group"), the elongation of the ICP with extended ileal resection was conducted. The short-term outcomes were compared between the two groups, and the risk factor for anastomotic complications was examined.
resultsThe preoperative and intraoperative parameters did not differ between the two groups. However, the incidence of anastomosis-related complications (ARCs) was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the conventional group (0.0% versus 14.6%, respectively; p = 0.027). Univariate analysis demonstrated that the elongation of the ICP with extended ileal resection was significantly correlated with ARCs (p = 0.027 and p = 0.030, respectively), although multivariate analysis did not show the independent factors.
conclusionThe lengthening technique using the elongation of the ICP with extended ileal resection is feasible and safe, and might be one choice for secure IPAA during the laparoscopic approach for RPC.
