In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Despite advancements in surgical procedures, Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains a common complication following gastrointestinal surgery. It carries a high rate of morbidity and mortality, increases the cost of treatment, and leads to further interventions and delayed recovery. As surgical practice advances, AL becomes a significant obstacle for gastrointestinal surgeons worldwide (Smith et al., 2023). The rate of AL depends on the type of operation, the location of the anastomosis, the disease itself, the method of surgery, and patient-related factors. Patient factors that contribute to AL include malnutrition, diabetes mellitus, smoking, obesity, steroid use, emergency operations, and poor blood flow to tissues (Johnson and Lee, 2024). Even though AL begins with a small lesion in the area of the anastomosis, it can lead to extensive intra-abdominal sepsis, multiple organ failure, and d
