Changes affect these two sentences, in which there are two transcription errors:

from: "Among all studies, 208 cases of anastomotic leakage were reported (4.6%), affecting 53 patients in the PCS group (3.51%) and 173 patients in the MCS group (6.47%)."

to: "Among all studies, 251 cases of anastomotic leakage were reported (3.84%), affecting 56 patients in the PCS group (3.51%) and 195 patients in the MCS group (6.92%)."

from: "Among the 2,868 patients included, 143 (4.99%) cases of postoperative anastomotic bleeding were observed, with eight cases (0.923%) in the PCS group and 133 cases (6.293%) in the MCS group."

to: "Among the 2,868 patients included, 143 (4.99%) cases of postoperative anastomotic bleeding were observed, with 8 cases (0.923%) in the PCS group and 135 cases (6.293%) in the MCS group".

The changes that need to be made to Table 1 affect the last two studies listed: Mizumoto R et al. and Pla-Martí V et al. The following would only need to be added to columns 5 and 6: MCS and PCS.

The original article has been corrected.
