This meta\u2010analysis aims to review existing literature to evaluate the postoperative complications associated with DCA, and to make comparisons with immediate coloanal anastomoses (ICA) after colorectal resection to assess the suitability of DCA as an alternative form of surgical treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Medline and Embase databases were reviewed from inception until 31 July 2020 in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Single\u2010arm studies that involved patients undergoing DCA for benign or malignant causes were selected, and meta\u2010analysis of proportions was conducted to determine the prevalence of postoperative complications following DCA. Comparative studies comparing postoperative outcomes between DCA and ICA were also included for comparative meta\u2010analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients undergoing DCA were significantly less likely to require diverting stoma construction as compared to ICA (odds ratio [OR]\u00a0=\u00a00.04; confidence interval [CI]: 0.02\u20130.07; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).

No significant differences in perioperative complications, such as anastomotic leakage (OR\u00a0=\u00a00.42; 95% CI: 0.11\u20131.64; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.21), postoperative ileus, pelvic abscesses, or sepsis, were noted between DCA and ICA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study shows no differences in complications or functional outcomes between DCA and ICA. Pooled analysis expectedly revealed a lower rate of diverting stoma in patients undergoing DCA.
