Table 1 Comparison of anastomotic techniques for small intestine with Crohn’s disease stenosis
From: The Sasaki-W anastomosis for recurrent Crohn’s disease stenosis after the Kono-S anastomosis
Sasaki-W anastomosis | Kono-S anastomosis | Hand-sewn end-to-end anastomosis | |
|---|---|---|---|
Postoperative restenosis | Low | Low | Fair |
Postoperative perfusion | Good | Good | Fair |
Residual material | None | Staples | Staples |
Difficulty | Easy | Slightly complicated | Easy |
Limitation | Influenced by adhesions and/or inflammation | Residual material | Perfusion insufficiency restenosis |
