A Clinical Parameters-Based Model Predicts Anastomotic Leakage After a Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision A Large Study With Data From China

摘要

Anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery is a major and life-threatening complication that occurs more frequently than expected. Intraoperative judgment in predicting potential leakage has shown extremely low sensitivity and specificity. The lack of a model for predicting anastomotic leakage might explain this insufficient judgment. We aimed to propose a clinical parameters-based model to predict anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME).
