Core Tip	This study aimed to find the risk factors causing structural sequelae of anastomotic site after leakage in rectal cancer patients. Anastomotic leakage is one of the most challenging complications. Even after patients recover from the acute complication phase, they can suffer from its structural sequelae including stricture, fistula, sinus, or permanent stoma. No studies have evaluated the risk factors causing structural sequelae of anastomosis after leakage. Here we report our data about the fate of anastomotic leakage and the risk factors that should be considered after anastomotic leakage in patients with rectal cancer.
