Long-term outcomes of Kono-S anastomosis for ileocecal resections in Crohn’s disease: a comparative analysis
After more than 7 years of follow-up, the Kono-S anastomosis demonstrates comparable long-term outcomes to conventional techniques in terms of recurrence, complications, and quality of life. Patient reflections suggest a potential benefit of earlier surgical intervention, highlighting the need for more proactive surgical referral in gastroenterological practice.
