DOI: 10.1007/s00384-017-2945-y
Abstract: IntroductionDespite advances in oncological outcomes in colo-rectal surgery, rates of anastomotic leak have not improved. The precise mechanisms of anastomotic leak remain poorly understood. Current research has focused on anastomotic reinforcement to tackle anastomotic leak… read more here.

Intraoperative colonic pulse oximetry in left-sided colorectal surgery: can it predict anastomotic leak?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "International Journal of Colorectal Disease"
DOI: 10.1007/s00384-018-2963-4
Abstract: BackgroundAn anastomotic leak is a fairly common and a potentially lethal complication in colorectal surgery. Objective methods to assess the viability and blood circulation of the anastomosis could help in preventing leaks. Intraoperative pulse oximetry… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00384-021-03854-5
Abstract: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most significant complications after colorectal surgery, affecting length of stay, patient morbidity, mortality, and long-term oncological outcome. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level rises in infective and inflammatory states.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00464-018-6144-x
Abstract: BackgroundC-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) have been described as good predictors of anastomotic leak after colorectal surgery, obtaining the highest diagnostic accuracy on the 5th postoperative day. However, if an enhanced recovery after surgery… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00464-020-08270-4
Abstract: Anastomotic leak (AL) is a common complication after colectomy with a relatively high failure to rescue rate (FTR), or death after major complications. There is emerging evidence to suggest an early AL may be associated… read more here.
