A Multicentre Evaluation of Risk Factors for Anastomotic Leakage After Restorative Proctocolectomy with Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

摘要

Background: Anastomotic leakage is a major complication after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis [IPAA]. Identification of patients at high risk of leakage may influence surgical decision making. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors associated with anastomotic leakage after restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA.
