Anastomotic Leakage After Colorectal Surgery.

Risk Factors for Anastomotic Leakage After Colorectal Surgery.

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

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.

Who May Qualify: - Aged ≥18 years - Undergoing elective or emergency colorectal resection with primary anastomosis (e.g., ileocolic, colocolic, colorectal, coloanal) - Providing written willing to sign a consent form Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Colorectal resection without anastomosis (e.g., end stoma) - Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis) - History of previous colorectal surgery involving anastomosis - Pregnancy - Unable to provide willing to sign a consent form or comply with follow-up Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
