- Original description
Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication after colorectal surgery, with incidence rates of 2-30%. This prospective, single-center observational cohort study aims to identify and quantify independent risk factors for AL, determine its incidence and impact on outcomes, and develop a predictive model. Approximately 430 patients undergoing colorectal resection with anastomosis will be enrolled from August 2025 to August 2026. Risk factors will be assessed preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. AL will be defined and graded per the International Study Group of Rectal Cancer (ISGRC) criteria.Read full original descriptionShow less
Risk Factors for Anastomotic Leakage After Colorectal Surgery.
Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication after colorectal surgery, with incidence rates of 2-30%. This prospective, single-center observational cohort study aims to identify and quantify independent risk factors for AL, determine its incidence and impact on outcomes, and develop a predictive model. Approximately 430 patients undergoing colorectal resection with anastomosis will be enrolled from August 2025 to August 2026. Risk factors will be assessed preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. AL will be defined and graded per the International Study Group of Rectal Cancer (ISGRC) criteria.
Inclusion: Aged ≥18 years; Undergoing elective or emergency colorectal resection with primary anastomosis (e.g., ileocolic, colocolic, colorectal, coloanal); Providing written informed consent.
Exclusion: Colorectal resection without anastomosis (e.g., end stoma); History of previous colorectal surgery involving anastomosis; Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis); Pregnancy; Unable to provide informed consent or comply with follow-up.
