Long-term prognosis of intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis in stage II/III colorectal cancer (INEX study): study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial in Japan

Long-term prognosis of intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis in stage II/III colorectal cancer (INEX study): study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial in Japan

Abstract Background Intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) for colon cancer has garnered attention owing to its minimally invasive nature and compatibility with advanced robot-assisted surgery. IA offers advantages such as smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, and quicker recovery. However, concer...
