Core Tip	Laparoscopic surgery is a fundamental improvement in oncological colorectal surgery, associated with better short-term outcomes. However, anastomotic leakage still presents a major challenge in the postoperative course. Future research should therefore aim at the prevention, timely recognition and treatment of this complication. Correction of nutritional compromise, frailty and muscle loss, optimization of fluid and microcirculatory status, implementation of clinical and laboratory diagnostic markers, and the use of clinical audits may all contribute to a reduction of anastomotic leakage.
