Single-incision laparoscopic ileostomy is a safe and feasible method of fecal diversion for anastomotic leakage following laparoscopic low anterior resection

摘要

PurposeCurrently, many operations are performed using the single-incision laparoscopic method. Although there have been recent reports on single-incision laparoscopic ileostomy, none have compared this method to conventional laparoscopic ileostomy. This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of single-incision laparoscopic ileostomy for anastomotic leakage following laparoscopic low anterior resections.
