NCT06273826

Brief Summary

The aim of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the mobile application "Colorectal Leakage App" in the early diagnosis of anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgeries at the National Research Oncology Center in Astana, Kazakhstan. Main Questions:

  1. 1.Development, validation, and implementation of the mobile application "Colorectal Leakage App," based on the Dutch Leakage Score.
  2. 2.Evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of the application in detecting anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgeries.
  3. 3.Determine the frequency of anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgeries performed in the colorectal surgery sector of the National Research Oncology Center in the Astana city.

Study Arms (1)

Colorectal Leakage App group

This group comprises patients who will be monitored using the "Colorectal Leakage App" based on the Dutch leakage score for early detection of anastomotic insufficiency after colorectal surgeries.

Diagnostic Test: "Colorectal Leakage App"

Interventions

The "Colorectal Leakage App" is a mobile application designed to aid in the early detection of anastomotic insufficiency after colorectal surgeries. The app is based on the Dutch Leakage Score (DLS) algorithm, which is a standardized protocol for postoperative monitoring.
