Comparison of different anastomosis methods in laparoscopically assisted left hemicolectomy for colon cancer
Both laparoscopically assisted left hemicolectomy with ESA and SSA are feasible and offer comparable long-term outcomes. ESA may reduce the need for splenic flexure dissociation, particularly when the tumor is located at the descending colon or its junction with the sigmoid colon, and especially in obese patients, elderly individuals with multiple complications, or those with severe adhesions in the splenic flexure of the surgical field.
