Abstract
Following colorectal surgery, anastomotic dehiscence and subsequent leak formation has an incidence of 2 to 7%. Anastomotic leaks (AL) have been associated with an increase in mortality ranging from 1.6% to 12%. Endo-SPONGE has been successfully applied in the management of ALs after colorectal surgery. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Endo-SPONGE system in the management of colorectal leaks.
