Single-layer versus double-layer closure of the enterotomy in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis: a single-center study

Background The aim of our study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes of totally laparoscopic right colectomy, in particular to compare the incidence of leakage of the ileocolic anastomosis after either single-layer (SL) or double-layer (DL) enterotomy closure.
