Anastomotic leaks are among the most dreaded complications in surgical practice. Leaks in colorectal surgery operations are more common when a distal colorectal, coloanal, or ileoanal anastomosis is fashioned. The high financial, medical, and functional costs which ensue following anastomotic leaks have been the impetus for continued research into methods to reduce the incidence of or ideally prevent leaks. The faculty of internationally acclaimed experts in this program address the gamut of leaks from incidence and cost to avoidance, diagnosis and treatment.
