Abstract:
With the common application of total mesorectal excision (TME) technique,the proportion of sphincterpreserving surgery for the mid-low rectal carcinoma is significantly increased.Anastomotic leakage after sphincter-preserving surgery is the most severe complication of rectal surgery,and it is the main reason which will lead to other complications and death.Many researches on the early diagnosis,prevention and treatment of anastomotic leakage are conducted by surgeons at home and abroad,and a further understanding of this complication is deeply realized.
