Intra-corporeal delta-shaped anastomosis in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for right colon cancer: a safe and effective technique

Background and objective Intra-corporeal delta-shaped anastomosis (IDA) is an important development in laparoscopic digestive-tract reconstruction. We applied it in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for right colon cancer and compared the short-term outcomes between the patients treated with IDA and conventional extracorporeal anastomosis (EA).
