Abstract
patients. The median operative time was 409 minutes with a median blood loss of 150 cc. The median length of stay was 9 days. When the two cohorts were compared, the only statistically significant difference was operative time p <0.003. There was no significant difference in gender, age, blood loss, LOS, or receipt of NT. Conclusions: We demonstrate that atrial fibrillation is an uncommon occurrence after RAIL. The low leak rate limits our ability to comment on the clinical relevance of atrial fibrillation as a predictor of anastomotic leak but in this series it does not appear to be predictive of a leak.
