Risk Factors for Anastomotic Leakage After Left-Sided Colorectal Resection With Rectal Anastomosis
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum · 2003 · Vol. 46(5) · pp. 653–660
Abstract
Patients with multiple risk factors have higher risk for anastomotic leakage. When patients have three or more risk factors, the creation of a protective stoma should be considered in cases with a low rectal anastomosis, and all these patients should be carefully monitored postoperatively for signs of possible leak.
