KONO-S Anastomosis Is Not Superior to Conventional Anastomosis for the Reduction of Postoperative Endoscopic Recurrence in Crohn's Disease.

This study aimed to evaluate the role of Kono-S anastomosis in postoperative recurrence (POR), in a prospective cohort of Crohn's disease patients undergoing ileocolic resection with this anastomosis. Results were compared with a historical cohort of patients who were operated on with conventional anastomosis. Endoscopic POR rate did not differ significantly between groups, and the type of anastomosis was not associated with endoscopic POR by multivariable analysis.
