Anastomotic leakage after resection for rectal cancer and recurrence-free survival in relation to postoperative c-reactive protein levels

HIGHLIGHTS

  • What: The authors aim to evaluate the relation between anastomotic leakage and recurrence-free survival, considering the postoperative inflammatory response, using formal mediation analysis. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate whether chronic inflammation, using the proxy of leakage with and without the anastomosis in situ as exposure, would impact recurrence-free survival.
  • Who: Anders Gerdin from the Department of Diagnostics and Intervention, Surgery, Umeå University, , Umeå, Sweden Department of Surgery, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, SSORG, Scandinavian Surgical Outcomes Research Group, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden have published the research work: Anastomotic leakage after . . .
