New method eliminates dog ears in laparoscopic low anterior resection.

This study presents a safe and effective technique for end-to-end anastomosis that reduces complications.

  • The average surgery time was 176 minutes with no anastomotic leaks or significant bleeding.
  • Mean postoperative stay was just under 5 days.

Surgeons can consider this “manta-shaped anastomosis” technique to enhance outcomes and streamline recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic anterior resections.
