Brief Summary

Background: Dehiscence of colorectal anastomosis is a serious complication associated with increased mortality and impaired functional and oncological outcomes. We hypothesised that anastomosis reinforcement and vacuum trans-anal drainage could eliminate some risk factors of colorectal anastomotic dehiscence,including mechanically stapled anastomosis instability and local infection.
