Defunctioning stoma reduces symptomatic anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer : A randomized multicenter trial

TL;DR: Defunctioning loop stoma decreased the rate of symptomatic anastomotic leakage and is therefore recommended in low anterior resection for rectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for anastomotic leakage after anterior resection of the rectum

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for anastomotic leakage in anterior resection and to assess the role of a temporary stoma and the need for urgent re‐operations in relation to anastOMotic leakage.
Journal ArticleDOI

What Is the Risk for a Permanent Stoma After Low Anterior Resection of the Rectum for Cancer? A Six-Year Follow-Up of a Multicenter Trial

TL;DR: One patient of 5 ended up with a permanent stoma after low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer, and half of the patients with a temporary stoma had previous symptomatic anastomotic leakage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increase of serum C-reactive protein is an early indicator of subsequent symptomatic anastomotic leakage after anterior resection

TL;DR: The study investigated the factors which might indicate anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection to find out if these factors are related to prolapse-like events.
