Clinical analysis of correlation factor of anastomotic leakage after anus-preserving operation for low rectal cancer

Abstract

Objective To investigate correlation factor of anastomotic leakage after anus-preserving operation for low rectal cancer. Methods Clinical data of 128 cases in recent 3 years of low rectal cancer after anus-preserving operation were retrospectively analyzed. Results The incidence rate of anastomotic leakage in the group were 10.9%(14/128). The patients of male,were age of ≥ 65 years old and ＜7cm of the anal margin from lower tumor,dukes the later stages,complicated by obstruction, diabetes, and hypoalbuminemia. The take place easily anastomotic leakages in the patients which were(all P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The rate of anastomotic leakage after anus-preserving operation for low rectal cancer is related to personal factors ,tumor factors and complicating diseases ,etc. Key words: Rectal neoplasms; Digestive system surgical procedures
