Making intracorporeal anastomosis easier: a practical and reproducible technique for common enterotomy closure in laparoscopic right colectomy.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn laparoscopic right-sided colonic resection, intracorporeal anastomosis offers several short-term advantages over the most commonly employed extracorporeal approach. Despite this, technical difficulties of execution still limit its widespread adoption. This report presents a novel technique for common enterotomy closure in pure laparoscopic surgery, which may support a more structured, consistent, and reproducible approach to anastomosis creation.
methodsThe technique entails a preliminary suture stabilization of the posterior aspect of the anastomosis prior to enterotomies creation and stapler firing. This maintains the resulting common enterotomy superficial and less prone to undue traction, thereby enhancing visibility and facilitating its manual closure.
resultsFrom August 2021 to February 2025, 39 patients underwent laparoscopic right-sided colectomy with this technique of reconstruction. No major anastomosis-related morbidity was observed.
conclusionsThis technique offers a standardized and proficient approach to intracorporeal anastomosis, facilitating its creation with high reproducibility. While promising, these results warrant validation in larger groups and comparison with existing techniques.
