Key Words Rectal cancer; Anastomotic leakage; Reinforcing suture; Meta-analysis; Systematic review
Core Tip This extensive systematic review rigorously evaluates the effectiveness and safety of trans-anal versus intracorporeal reinforcement sutures in low anterior resection for rectal cancer, offering the most robust methodological appraisal to date. Through heterogeneity assessment, sensitivity and subgroup analyses, and publication bias evaluation, it strengthens evidence quality, addresses outcome variability, and underscores clinical implications. Results inform surgical decision-making by comparing anastomotic leakage risks, postoperative morbidity, and technical feasibility, advocating for standardized practices to optimize colorectal surgical outcomes.
