Does stapled functional end-to-end anastomosis affect recurrence of Crohn's disease after ileocolonic resection?
Our non-randomized study suggests a better trend toward the functional stapled technique, in terms of recurrence rate. These observations need further investigation with randomized controlled trials, to compare the two different anastomotic procedures.
The reduction of OBV does not seem to represent an index of neuronal damage in the earliest stages of AD.
