Handsewn ileocolic anastomosis
Side to side stapled anastomosis
Randomised comparison of handsewn (end-to-end and the Kono-S) with the side-to-side stapled anastomosis. to use a manual anastomosis technique avoiding stapled technique to verify if stapled anastomosis can cause ulcers at endoscopic follow up with systematic overscoring
