Résumé
Colorectal malignancy ranked third globally in cancer incidence with 1.9 million cases and nearly 1 million deaths in 2020. Rectal cancer is primarily treated with total mesorectal excision (TME). This study examines surgical, functional, and quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes for different anastomosis types. Pre-registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022368907), the systematic search on November 8, 2022, covered three databases: MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, and Cochrane Central. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) assessing adults post-TME, comparing end-to-end anastomosis (EEA) to colonic J-pouch (CJP) and/or side-to-end anastomosis (SEA) were eligible. 29 studies out of 4459 were included. EEA vs. CJP showed no significant differences in anastomotic leakage (AL) (RR: 1.03; CI: [0.84-1.26]) or mortality (RR: 0.77; CI: [0.30-1.98]). At 12 months, the mean bowel movement difference was 1.59/day (CI: [(-)0.66-3.84]). QoL at six and 12 months was similar (SMD: -0.22; CI: [(-)0.82-0.37]). Compared with SEA, EEA had similar AL ratios (RR: 1.59; CI: [0.54-4.72]) and QoL at six months (SMD: -0.04; CI: [(-)0.66-0.58]). EEA demonstrates surgical efficacy comparable to other techniques. Six months postoperatively, EEA's impact on QoL appears similar to CJP or SEA, irrespective of daily stool frequency.
