•Operative time was significantly longer in the

•Blood loss and complications in the two groups

were similar

•Laparoscopic patients had a significantly shorter

time for enteric function recovery and shorter

Laparoscopy and Open Ileocecal Resection for Crohn’s Disease: a Metaanalysis

•Laparoscopic ileocecal resection is associated with equal adverse

events than open surgery

•Postoperative recovery was enhanced

•Length of hospital stay was reduced

•Short incision was associated with improvement in perceived

cosmetic results

•Long-term follow-up evaluation is required

•Contraindications to laparoscopy for Crohn's disease remain

poorly defined
