Core Tip	Laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis (LIA) presents a promising advancement for ileostomy reversal in patients with Crohn’s disease, offering faster recovery, reduced postoperative complications, and suitability for obese patients. This manuscript highlights challenges such as technical complexities and patient selection, emphasizing the need for advanced training and standardized protocols. Exclusive enteral nutrition further enhances the outcomes by promoting mucosal healing and reducing inflammation. Innovations such as 3D-printed models and robotic assistance can improve LIA adoption, bridge skill gaps, and reduce costs. These findings underscore the potential of LIA to revolutionize surgical care and optimize outcomes for this unique patient population.
