Abstract
Anastomotic leaks are a dreaded complication of all colorectal surgery with the main factors contributing to it being tension on the anastomosis, intra-abdominal or systemic sepsis, distal obstruction, inadequate blood supply and improper surgical techniques. The leak rate of left-sided high colorectal resections can have a clinically significant leak rate from as low as 1-5% in high anterior resections to 7.9% in low anastomoses.
