Comparing two surgical methods for Crohn's disease treatment
Official title: Stapled Antimesenteric Functional End-to-end Anastomosis (Kono-S) Versus Stapled Antimesenteric Isoperistaltic Side-to-side Anastomosis for the Postoperative Recurrence of Crohn's Disease: a Randomized Control Trial Study
Run by Jinling Hospital, China · NCT05658081 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing which of two surgical methods works better for treating Crohn's disease in patients needing bowel surgery to see which one leads to fewer problems after the operation.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients with Crohn's disease who require bowel resection and anastomosis.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have undergone enterostomy or small bowel anastomosis, or those anticipating participation in another trial, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of two different surgical techniques for performing anastomosis in patients with Crohn's disease who require bowel resection. One method involves a stapled anti-mesenteric functional end-to-end anastomosis, while the other uses a stapled antimesenteric isoperistaltic side-to-side anastomosis. The study will evaluate the postoperative recurrence rates of Crohn's disease associated with each technique. By determining which method is superior, the trial seeks to improve surgical outcomes for patients with this chronic condition.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to reduced recurrence rates of Crohn's disease after surgery, improving patient quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific comparison of these two anastomosis techniques may be novel, previous studies have shown varying success with different surgical approaches for Crohn's disease.
