Popis: Objectives To evaluate comparative outcomes of intracorporeal (ICA) and extracorporeal (ECA) anastomosis in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. Methods We conducted a systematic search of electronic databases and bibliographic reference lists. We applied a combination of free text and controlled vocabulary search adapted to thesaurus headings, search operators and limits in each of the above databases. Overall perioperative morbidity, anastomotic leak, surgical site infection (SSI), paralytic ileus, bleeding, postoperative pain within 5 days, conversion to an open procedure, length of incision and procedure time were the evaluated outcome parameters. Results We identified 4 randomised controlled trials reporting a total of 399 patients evaluating outcomes of ICA (n = 199) and ECA (n = 200) in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. The ICA was associated with significantly shorter length of incision (MD:-1.82, P Conclusions The meta-analysis of level 1 evidence demonstrated that ICA and ECA have comparable perioperative outcomes in laparoscopic right colectomy although the former may be associated with less postoperative pain probably due to shorter incision length. Future research may provide stronger evidence in favour of an intervention.
