What is Impact of Anastomotic Leak on Long-term Oncological Outcomes After Restorative Surgery for Rectal Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study about?
## BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leak after restorative surgery for rectal cancer is a major complication and may lead to worse long-term oncological and survival outcomes. ## OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors associated with anastomotic leak and to assess the perioperative and long-term oncological impact of anastomotic leak in our cohort of patients with rectal cancer. ## DESIGN: A retrospective analysis was performed on data from the prospectively maintained Cabrini Monash colorectal neoplasia database. Patients who had undergone rectal cancer resection and subsequently received anastomosis between November 2009 and May 2020 were included in this study. Patient and tumor characteristics, technical risk factors, and short-term and perioperative as well as long-term oncological and survival outcomes were assessed. ## SETTINGS: The study was conducted in 3 tertiary hospitals. ## PATIENTS: A total of 693 patients met the inclusion criteria for this study. ## MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Univariate analyses were performed to assess the relationship between anastomotic leak and patient and technical risk factors, as well as perioperative and long-term outcomes.
