Core Tip Anastomotic leakage (AL) after rectal cancer surgery is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A review of 583 patients who underwent rectal resection with a double-stapling colorectal anastomosis in a 15-year period was performed. The overall incidence of AL was 10.4%. Mortality was higher in patients with AL than in patients without leak. Prognostic nutritional index < 40 points and intraoperative blood loss were identified as risk factors for AL. Location of anastomosis, number of stapler cartridges used to divide the rectum, diameter of circular stapler and level of vascular section were also correlated to AL in our patients.
