Following publication of the original article [1], there are some text change in the abstract section under Result the paragraph should need to change from “Result One hundred thirty-nine patients (58.4%) were performed by manual circular stapling, 99 patients (41.6%) by powerd circular stapling. Diverting stoma was performed in 45 cases (32.4%) by manual circular stapling, 42 patients (42.4%) by powerd circular stapling Postoperative complications were occurred clavien-dindo grade II or higher in 57 cases (23.9%) and grade III or higher in 20 cases (8.4%). Anastomotic leakage occurred in 14 patients (5.9%) within all grades. After IPTW, the variables of patient characteristics was SMD ≤ 0.2 (Table 3), and there was a significant difference in anastomotic leakage (Odds Ratio (OR), 0.57; 95% Confidence Interval(CI), 0.34–0.98; p = 0.041). In addition, there was no significant difference in postoperative complications in grade II or higher (OR, 0.88; 95%CI,0.65–1.19; p = 0.417) and grade III or higher (OR, 0.46; 95%CI, 0.29–0.74; p = 0.001) were significantly remarkable lower in powered circular stapling group.” to “ One hundred thirty-nine patients (58.4%) were performed by manual circular stapling, 99 patients (41.6%) by powerd circular stapling.

In addition, there was no significant difference in postoperative complications in grade II or higher (OR, 0.88; 95%CI, 0.65–1.18; p = 0.394) and grade III or higher (OR, 0.45; 95%CI, 0.28–0.73; p = 0.001) were significantly remarkable lower in powered circular stapling group.”

In addition, there is a change in the Fig. 1 and the same has shown below:
