Abstract
BACKGROUND Although intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) for colon cancer requires longer operative time than extracorporeal anastomosis (EA), its short-term postoperative results, such as early recovery of bowel movement, have been reported to be equal or better. As IA requires opening the intestinal tract in the abdominal cavity under pneumoperitoneum, there are concerns about intraperitoneal bacterial infection and recurrence of peritoneal dissemination due to the spread of bacteria and tumor cells. However, intraperitoneal bacterial contamination and medium-term oncological outcomes have not been clarified. AIM To clarify the effects of bacterial and tumor cell contamination of the intra-abdominal cavity in IA. METHODS Of 127 patients who underwent laparoscopic colon resection for colon cancer from April 2015 to December 2020, 75 underwent EA (EA group), and 52 underwent IA (IA group). After propensity score matching, the primary endpoint was 3-year disease-free survival rates, and secondary endpoints were 3-year overall survival rates, type of recurrence, surgical site infection (SSI) incidence, number of days on antibiotics, and postoperative biological responses. RESULTS Three-year disease-free survival rates did not significantly differ between the IA and EA groups (87.2% and 82.7%, respectively, P = 0.4473). The 3-year overall survival rates also did not significantly differ between the IA and EA groups (94.7% and 94.7%, respectively; P = 0.9891). There was no difference in the type of recurrence between the two groups. In addition, there were no significant differences in SSI incidence or the number of days on antibiotics; however, postoperative biological responses, such as the white blood cell count (10200 vs 8650/mm3, P = 0.0068), C-reactive protein (6.8 vs 4.5 mg/dL, P = 0.0011), and body temperature (37.7 vs 37.5 °C, P = 0.0079), were significantly higher in the IA group. CONCLUSION IA is an anastomotic technique that should be widely performed because its risk of intraperitoneal bacterial contamination and medium-term oncological outcomes are comparable to those of EA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION While intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) has been widely used in totally laparoscopic right colectomy, its application in laparoscopic segmental left colectomy for splenic flexure cancer remains underexplored, particularly in large-scale studies with long-term outcomes. This research aims to assess the technical feasibility and oncological efficacy of IA in treating colonic splenic flexure carcinoma, drawing insights from both short-term and long-term outcomes of a retrospective cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 342 patients diagnosed with colonic splenic flexure carcinoma in three Chinese medical centers. These patients underwent laparoscopic segmental left colectomy between December 2014 and December 2019 across three medical institutions. Comprehensive data encompassing demographics, disease features, pathological characteristics, operative details, and both short-term and long-term outcomes were gathered and scrutinized. Using propensity scores, each patient from the IA cohort was paired with a counterpart from the extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) cohort. RESULTS IA was performed on 129 patients, while 213 underwent EA. Post-propensity score matching resulted in 129 matched pairs. After matching, many baseline characteristics were balanced. The IA cohort exhibited several advantages, including shorter incision lengths ( P <0.001) and more extensive proximal and distal resection margins ( P =0.003, P <0.001). Additionally, the IA method facilitated a more rapid postoperative recovery as indicated by quicker return of bowel movements (resumption of passing flatus [2.7 (1.0-7.0) days vs. 3.3 (2.0-8.0) days, P <0.001] and defecation [3.7 (1.0-9.0)] days vs. 4.5 (2.0-9.0) days, P <0.001]), faster discharges [6.6 (3.0-15.0) days vs. 8.3 (5.0-20.0) days, P <0.001], and decreased need for rescue analgesics ( P <0.001). The rate of postoperative complications, as rated by the Clavien-Dindo classification, remained consistent across both techniques ( P =0.087). Furthermore, the cosmetic outcome rated by Patient Scar Assessment Questionnaire and Scoring System (PSAQ) was markedly superior in the IA group ( P <0.001). Both approaches demonstrated equivalent 5-year overall (82.7% vs. 82.1%, P =0.419) and disease-free survival (80.9% vs. 78.1%, P =0.476). Subsequent stratification analysis revealed that IA achieved comparable 5-year overall (80.7% vs. 82.0%, P =0.647) and disease-free survival (78.1% vs. 76.4%, P =0.734) in patients with locally advanced colon cancer. CONCLUSION Employing IA for laparoscopic segmental left colectomy in cases of splenic flexure carcinoma is not only safe but also offers enhanced cosmetic results and expedited postoperative recovery. Oncologically speaking, IA in left segmental colectomy for splenic flexure carcinoma can yield therapeutic outcomes comparable to those of EA, even in patients with locally advanced colon cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary aim was to investigate the operative outcomes of intracorporeal (IA) and extracorporeal (EA) anastomosis in left-sided minimally-invasive colectomy. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted for studies comparing operative outcomes and follow-up data of IA versus EA in minimally-invasive left colectomy. Studies that investigated recto-sigmoid resections using transanal circular staplers were excluded. Data from eligible studies were extracted, qualitatively assessed, and included in a meta-analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) and mean differences with 95 per cent confidence intervals were calculated. RESULTS Eight studies with a total of 750 patients were included (IA n = 335 versus EA n = 415). IA was associated with significantly lower overall morbidity (OR 0.40, 95% CI 0.26-0.61, p < 0.0001) and less frequent surgical site infection (SSI) (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.12-0.61, p = 0.002) as primary outcomes compared to EA. Of the secondary outcomes, length of incision (SMD -2.51, 95% CI -4.21 to -0.81, p = 0.004), time to first oral diet intake (SMD -0.49, 95% CI -0.76 to -0.22, p = 0. 0004) and time to first bowel movement (SMD -0.40, 95% CI -0.71 to -0.09, p = 0.01) were significantly in favor of IA, while operative time was significantly shorter in the EA group (SMD 0.36, 95% CI 0.14-0.59, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS IA proves to be a safe and feasible option as it demonstrates benefits in terms of lower overall morbidity, fewer rates of SSI, smaller incision length, and faster postoperative gastrointestinal recovery despite a longer operative time compared to EA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The feasibility and effectiveness of selecting an intracorporeal or extracorporeal technique in left hemicolectomy remain poorly understood. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the difference between the two approaches regarding intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. METHODS A thorough exploration of online databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science) was executed to identify randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case control studies. The outcomes contained four aspects: intraoperative outcomes, postoperative complications, postoperative patient conditions, and postoperative outcomes. All of these data were analyzed using RevMan 5.4. Seven retrospective control trials (intracorporeal, 396 patients; extracorporeal, 426 patients) were evaluated. RESULTS Compared to the extracorporeal group, the intracorporeal group demonstrated superiority in incision length (P = 0.005), overall complications (P = 0.01), time to first flatus (P < 0.001), time to first stool (P = 0.005), time to first diet (P < 0.001) and hospital stay duration (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The intracorporeal technique is associated with superiority over the extracorporeal technique in reducing postoperative complications, promoting postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function, and reducing hospital stay duration.

Abstract
This article reports the results of a novel perioperative treatment implementing the gut microbiota to prevent anastomotic fistula and leakage (AL) in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resections for cancer and represents the continuation of our pilot study on 60 cases. A series of 131 patients underwent elective colorectal surgery at the S. Eugenio Hospital (Rome-Italy) between December 1, 2020, and November 30, 2022, and received a perioperative preparation following the Microbiota Implementation to Reduce Anastomotic Colorectal Leaks (MIRACLe) protocol comprising oral antibiotics, mechanical bowel preparation and perioperative probiotics. The results obtained in the MIRACLe group (MG) were compared to those registered in a Control group (CG) of 500 patients operated on between March 2015 and November 30, 2020, who received a standard ERAS protocol. Propensity score-matching (PSM) analysis was performed to overcome patients' selection bias. Patients were categorised according to perioperative preparation (MIRACLe protocol vs standard ERAS protocol) into two groups: 118 patients were in post-matched MIRACLe group (pmMG) and 356 were in post-matched Control group (pmCG). In the pmMG, only 2 anastomotic leaks were registered, and the incidence of AL was just 1.7% vs. 6.5% in the pmCG (p = 0.044). The incidence of surgical site infections (1.7% vs. 3.1%; p = 0.536), reoperations (0.8% vs. 4.2%; p = 0.136) and postoperative mortality (0% vs. 2.0%; p = 0.200) was lower in pmMG. Additionally, the postoperative outcomes were better: the times to first flatus, to first stool and to oral feeding were shorter (1 vs. 2, 2 vs. 3 and 2 vs. 3 days, respectively; p < 0.001). The postoperative recovery was faster, with a shorter time to discharge (5 vs. 6 days; p < 0.001). The MIRACLe protocol was confirmed to be safe and significantly able to reduce anastomotic leaks in patients receiving elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery for cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the short-term outcomes of patients undergoing intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) during laparoscopic colectomy to those undergoing extracorporeal anastomosis (EA). METHODS AND MATERIALS The study was a single-centre retrospective propensity score-matched analysis conducted. Consecutive patients who underwent elective laparoscopic colectomy without the double stapling technique between January 2018 and June 2021 were investigated. The main outcome was overall postoperative complications within 30 days after the procedure. The authors also performed a sub-analysis of the postoperative results of ileocolic anastomosis and colocolic anastomosis, respectively. RESULTS A total of 283 patients were initially extracted; after propensity score matching, there were 113 patients in each of the IA and EA groups. There were no differences in patient characteristics between the two groups. The IA group had a significantly longer operative time than the EA group (208 vs. 183 min, P =0.001). The rate of overall postoperative complications was significantly lower in the IA group ( n =18, 15.9%) than in the EA group ( n =34, 30.1%; P =0.02), especially in colocolic anastomosis after left-sided colectomy (IA: 23.8% vs. EA: 59.1%; P =0.03). Postoperative inflammatory marker levels were significantly higher in the IA group on postoperative day 1 but not on postoperative day 7. There was no difference in the postoperative lengths of hospital stay between the two groups, and no deaths occurred. CONCLUSION The data suggest that performing IA during laparoscopic colectomy can potentially reduce the risk of postoperative complications, especially in colocolic anastomosis after left-sided colectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to clarify the usefulness of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) in the assessment of intestinal vascular perfusion in patients who receive intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) in colon cancer surgery. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective study using propensity score matching. We compared the surgical outcomes of colon cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic colonic resection with IA or external anastomosis (EA) with the intraoperative evaluation of anastomotic perfusion using ICG-FI from January 2019 to July 2021. The detection rate of poor anastomotic perfusion by ICG-FI was examined. RESULTS A total of 223 patients were enrolled. After matching, 69 patients each were classified into the IA and EA groups. There were no significant differences in age, sex, body mass index, tumor localization, or progression between the two groups. The operation time was similar (172 min vs. 171 min, p = 0.62) and the amount of bleeding was significantly lower (0 ml vs. 2 ml, p = 0.0023) in the IA group. The complication rates (grade ≥ 2) of the two groups were similar (14.5% vs. 11.6%, p = 0.59). ICG-FI identified four patients (5.8%) with poor anastomotic perfusion in the IA group, but none in the EA group (p = 0.046). All four patients with poor perfusion in the IA group underwent additional resection; none of these patients developed postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Poor anastomotic perfusion was detected in 5.8% of cases who underwent laparoscopic colon cancer surgery with IA. ICG-FI is useful for evaluating anastomotic perfusion in IA in order to prevent AL.

Abstract
AIM The aim was to describe the robot-assisted intracorporeal anastomosis technique in left colon surgery (rLCS) and report the initial results. METHOD The rLCS was performed in 25 consecutive patients, starting with a Pfannenstiel incision and introducing a prepared anvil. The robot was docked and the affected segment resected. Colotomy was performed and the anvil was introduced in the proximal segment. End-to-end anastomosis was performed and reinforced. An air-leak test was performed. RESULTS The results varied in terms of patient's age, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, weight and the technique performed. Most patients had cancer. There was no suture failure or mortality, and the mean hospital stay was 3 days. CONCLUSIONS The rLCS is a safe, reproducible technique with good initial results. Prospective studies should be performed to demonstrate its advantages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have evaluated the feasibility and safety of intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) for left hemicolectomy. Here, we aimed to investigate the potential advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic left hemicolectomy with IA and compare the short- and medium-term outcomes between IA and extracorporeal anastomosis (EA). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 133 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic left hemicolectomies from July 2016 to September 2019 and categorized them into the IA and EA groups. Patients with stage 4 disease and conversion to laparotomy or those lost to follow-up were excluded. Postoperative outcomes between IA and EA groups were compared. Short-term outcomes included postoperative pain score, bowel function recovery, complications, duration of hospital stay, and pathological outcome. Medium outcomes included overall survival and disease-free survival for at least 2 years. RESULTS After excluding ineligible patients, the remaining 117 underwent IA (n = 40) and EA (n = 77). The IA group had a shorter hospital stay, a shorter time to tolerate liquid or soft diets, and higher serum C-reactive protein level on postoperative day 3. There was no difference between two groups in operative time, postoperative pain, specimen length, or nearest margin. A 2-year overall survival (IA vs. EA: 95.0% vs. 93.5%, p = 0.747) and disease-free survival (IA vs. EA: 97.5% vs. 90.9%, p = 0.182) rates were comparable between two groups. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic left hemicolectomy with IA was technically feasible, with better short-term outcomes, including shorter hospital stays and shorter time to tolerate liquid or soft diets. The IA group had higher postoperative serum C-reactive protein level; however, no complications were observed. Regarding medium-term outcomes, the overall survival and disease-free survival rates were comparable between IA and EA procedures.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced ERAS program application in colorectal surgery across hospitals in the Lazio region (central district in Italy) participating in the “Lazio Network” project. Methods A multi-institutional database was constructed. All patients included in this study underwent elective colorectal surgery for both malignant and benign disease between January 2019 and December 2020. Emergency procedures were excluded. The population was divided into 2 groups: a pre-COVID-19 group (PG) of patients operated on between February and December 2019 and a COVID-19 group (CG) of patients operated on between February and December 2020, during the first 2 waves of the pandemic in Italy. Results The groups included 622 patients in the PG and 615 in the CG treated in 8 hospitals of the network. The mean number of items applied was higher in the PG (65.6% vs. 56.6%, p < 0.001) in terms of preoperative items (64.2% vs. 50.7%, p < 0.001), intraoperative items (65.0% vs. 53.3%, p < 0.001), and postoperative items (68.8% vs. 63.2%, p < 0.001). Postoperative recovery was faster in the PG, with a shorter time to first flatus, first stool, autonomous mobilization and discharge (6.82 days vs. 7.43 days, p = 0.021). Postoperative complications, mortality and reoperations were similar among the groups. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the application of ERAS in the centers of the “Lazio Network” study group, with a reduction in adherence to the ERAS protocol in terms of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative items. In addition, in the CG, the patients had worse postoperative outcomes with respect to recovery and discharge.

Abstract
The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the effects of a novel perioperative treatment for the implementation of the gut microbiota, to prevent anastomotic fistula and leakage (AL) in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resections for cancer. A series of 60 patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery at S. Eugenio Hospital (Rome-Italy) between December 1, 2020 and November 30, 2021 and received a novel perioperative preparation following the MIRACLe (Microbiota Implementation to Reduce Anastomotic Colorectal Leaks) protocol (oral antibiotics, mechanical bowel preparation and perioperative probiotics), was compared to a group of 500 patients (control group) operated on between March 2015 and November 30, 2020, who received a standard ERAS protocol. In the MIRACLe Group only 1 anastomotic leak was registered. In this group the incidence of AL was just 1.7% vs. 6.4% in the control group (p = 0.238) and the incidence of surgical site infections (1.7% vs. 3.6%; p = 0.686), reoperations (1.7% vs. 4.2%; p = 0.547) and postoperative mortality (0% vs. 2.2%; p = 0.504) were lower. The postoperative outcomes were also better: the times to first flatus, to first stool and to oral feeding were shorter (1 vs. 2, 2 vs. 3 and 2 vs. 3 days, respectively; p < 0.001). Additionally, the postoperative recovery was faster, with a shorter time to discharge (4 vs. 6 days; p < 0.001). In this pilot study, the MIRACLe protocol appeared to be safe and considerably reduced anastomotic leaks in elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery for cancer, even if not statistically significant, due to the small number of cases.

Abstract
To compare the short-term outcomes in patients who underwent laparoscopic right colectomy with a traditional minimally invasive approach versus patients who underwent a laparoscopic colectomy with an enhanced perioperative pathway. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a consecutive series of patients who underwent elective laparoscopic right colectomy for neoplastic disease between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: the first cohort (FC), who underwent a traditional laparoscopic colectomy, mainly with extracorporeal anastomosis, between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015 and the second cohort (SC), who underwent a laparoscopic colectomy with an enhanced intraoperative (intracorporeal anastomosis) and perioperative pathway (ERAS protocol) between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020. There were a total of 361 patients, including 177 in the FC and 184 in the SC. In the SC a higher number of intracorporeal anastomoses was performed (91.8% vs. 19.2%, p < 0.001), drains were placed in 42 patients only (22.8% vs. 100% in the FC) and nasogastric tubes were placed in 21 patients only (11.4% vs. 100% in the FC). In the initial period of the SC. the procedures required a slightly longer operative time (median 105 vs. 95 min; p = 0.002), but postoperative surgical complications were lower (12% vs. 17.4%, p = 0.179). Postoperative recovery was faster in SC along with time to discharge (4 vs. 7 days; p < 0.001). Intraoperative anastomosis and enhanced pathways in right laparoscopic colectomy seem to guarantee better results with lower surgical complications and faster postoperative recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The laparoscopic approach is a very popular technique for many gastrointestinal operations and barbed sutures may improve the difficulties of intracorporeal anastomosis by eliminating the need for knot tying. The aim of this systematic review with a meta-analysis is to explore literature to establish the security profile of barbed suture compared with conventional laparoscopic sutures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was performed in all electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE) and 12 studies were included in the analysis, involving 27,133 patients, whereof 3372 cases (patients undergone barbed suture usage) and 23,761 controls (patients undergone conventional suture usage). We found 3 studies discussing differences between barbed and conventional sutures in colorectal surgery and 8 studies presenting results in bariatric surgery, both in Roux-en-y gastric bypass and Mini Gastric/One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass. RESULTS We found comparable rate of leaks, bleedings and stenosis. The meta-regression analysis demonstrated that, both in case of bariatric and colorectal surgery, the demographic characteristic of patients and the oncological features of neoplasms did not impact of these findings. As expected, operative time is significantly shorter when barbed suture is used. CONCLUSION Our analysis on current literature define an acceptable security profile for barbed suture with effective results particularly in terms of shorter operative time.

Abstract
Outcomes advantages for the minimally invasive approach to colon and rectal surgery have been clearly described since the original report of a laparoscopic colectomy in 1991. Advancements in minimally invasive options for colon and rectal surgery have produced the need for critical evaluation of alternative and evolving techniques. The evolution and increased adoption of the minimally invasive robotic platform has allowed the intracorporeal anastomosis, previously described with the laparoscopic approach, to be more widely available to surgeon skill sets because of robotic articulating instruments and ergonomic advantages. Studies comparing intra- and extracorporeal techniques for laparoscopic right colectomy have demonstrated some outcomes advantages for the intracorporeal approach that include fewer conversions-to-open, fewer postoperative complications, and shorter hospital length of stay. Recent robotic-assisted comparisons have also shown an intracorporeal advantage and have extended the analysis to left-sided colorectal resections. Further upgrades in minimally invasive options and techniques warrant further evidence-based considerations for surgeons choosing between these options and techniques.

Abstract
Although minimally invasive surgery is recognized as the gold standard of many surgical procedures, laparoscopic suturing is still considered as the most difficult skill in laparoscopic surgery. The introduction of barbed sutures facilitates laparoscopic suturing because it is not necessary to tie a knot. The efficacy of this method has been evaluated in different types of surgery; however, less is known about general surgery. We retrospectively analysed data from 378 patients who had undergone bariatric or surgical treatment for colic or gastric malignancy requiring a closure of gastroentero, entero-entero or enterocolotomy from January 2014 to January 2019, admitted to the General Surgery Unit and Operative Unit of Surgical Endoscopy of the University Federico II (Naples, Italy). We registered 12 anastomotic leaks (3.1%), 16 anastomotic intraluminal bleedings (4.2%) and 7 extraluminal bleedings. Other complications included 23 cases of postoperative nausea and vomit (6%), 14 cases of postoperative ileus (3.7%) and 3 cases of intra-abdominal abscess (0.8%). Overall complications rate was 19.8% (75/378). No postoperative death was registered. Thus, by pooling together 378 patients, we can assess that barbed suture could be considered safe and effective for closure of holes used for the introduction of a branch of mechanical stapler to perform intracorporeal anastomosis.
