“…The above reports together with several others [9–11] investigated the negative correlation of anastomotic leakage with survival. It is clear that AL and consequent abdominal sepsis are strongly associated with poorer survival outcome in the perioperative period.…”
Patients who suffer anastomotic leaks requiring reoperations have worse OS compared to patients who do not leak, but there were no significant differences in DFS between patients who leaked and those who did not.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
