Background: The role of intestinal mesentery and the extent of its resection as a determinant of outcomes post-bowel resection in Crohn's disease (CD) remains a subject of debate. We evaluated outcomes of conventional mesenteric resection (CMR) and compared it with extended mesenteric resection (EMR) in patients undergoing ileo-colic excision for limited ileo-colonic CD.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines using Medline, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane databases.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effects of using low intraabdominal pressure versus high intraabdominal pressure during laparoscopic colorectal surgery, focusing mainly on post-operative complications like ileus and bowel movement recovery.
- The analysis pooled data from six randomised controlled trials and one observational study involving 771 patients, finding no significant differences in outcomes between the two pressure settings.
- The conclusion suggests that using low intraabdominal pressure is safe and equally effective as standard pressure, but calls for more comprehensive studies to confirm any potential advantages.
