Objective: to asses safety of installation intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) in routine practice at learning curve period.Materials and methods. The results of treatment of 102 patients during 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, of which 64 were operated by an expert and 38 passing the ICA learning curve.Results. The operation time was shorter for the expert (145 minutes versus 210 minutes, p <0.05), there was no statistical difference in pathomorphological measurements, the number of lymph nodes removed was oncologically acceptable and did not differ significantly in the two groups. The total number of complications was 25.2 % for all patients, and Clavien–Dindo class IIIB complication rate was also the same (3.2 % vs 2.6 %, p >0.05).Conclusions. The introduction of ICA in right colectomy into routine practice at the stage of passing the learning curve is safe and applicable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
