Risk factors for anastomotic leakage and postoperative outcomes after total and subtotal colectomy: A nationwide retrospective cohort study (RIALTCOT Study Collaborative Group)

Juan Ocana et al.

Summary: This study assessed the incidence, risk factors, and management of anastomotic leakage (AL) after total colectomy (TC) and subtotal colectomy (STC). The results showed that male sex, ASA score, and lower preoperative protein level were identified as independent risk factors for overall and Grade B-C AL. Performing diverting ileostomy in revision surgery may lower the permanent stoma rate.

Preoperative biomarkers related to inflammation may identify high-risk anastomoses in colorectal cancer surgery: explorative study

Klas Holmgren et al.

Summary: Anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery is a major complication related to failed wound healing and inflammation. Elevated levels of inflammation-related proteins were observed in preoperative samples of patients with leakage, particularly in rectal cancer patients, suggesting a systemic host response. Further translational investigations are needed to validate these findings and potentially decrease leakage rates.

C reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) as predictor of anastomotic leakage in colorectal surgery

Panagiotis Paliogiannis et al.

Summary: The study showed that the CRP to albumin ratio (CAR) is an effective predictor of anastomotic leakage and postoperative deaths in patients undergoing elective surgery for colorectal cancer. CAR had better predictive ability compared to using CRP and albumin alone. This simple and inexpensive laboratory biomarker has the potential for widespread clinical application.
