Anastomotic leakage in colorectal cancer surgery [PDF]

open access: yesSurgical Oncology, 2022
The safety of colorectal surgery for oncological disease is steadily improving, but anastomotic leakage is still the most feared and devastating complication from both a surgical and oncological point of view. Anastomotic leakage affects the outcome of the surgery, increases the times and costs of hospitalization, and worsens the prognosis in terms of ...

Esophagogastric anastomotic leakage.

open access: yesInternational surgery, 1982
Anastomotic leakage of esophagogastric anastomoses can be prevented by administering adequate preoperative nutritional support and by employing mechanical circular staplers. In a series of 299 intrathoracic anastomoses, 35 leakages were observed, 11 of which gave asymptomatic radiological findings.

[Pneumomediastinum as a sign of anastomotic leakage].

open access: yesUgeskrift for laeger, 2007
Anastomotic defect after colorectal surgery usually presents with clinical and biochemical signs and is confirmed by radiological studies. We report a rare case of anastomotic defect in the form of pneumomediastinum. The patient had no clinical signs of leakage, and no defect was found during acute laparotomy, performed because of wound dehiscence ...

Surgeons lack predictive accuracy for anastomotic leakage in gastrointestinal surgery

open access: yesInternational Journal of Colorectal Disease, 2009
The dramatic clinical consequences of anastomotic leakage in gastrointestinal surgery can be reduced by a diverting stoma or drainage of the peri-anastomotic area. Currently, the surgeons' clinical judgement is of major importance in decision making, but

Epidural Analgesia and Risk of Anastomotic Leakage

Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2001
Based on case reports of early anastomotic leakage in patients receiving epidural analgesia with local anesthetic and data to document a stimulatory effect of epidural block on gastrointestinal motility, it has been suggested that continuous infusion of epidural local anesthetic may lead to an increased incidence of anastomotic leakage.
