Anastomotic leaks are among the most devastating complications in all forms of gastrointestinal surgery. The rates and adverse sequelae of anastomotic leaks are most common and potentially of the greatest detrimental impact at the two ends of the intestinal tract - the esophagus and the rectum. This program is the first one in a four-part series delving into every facet of anastomotic leaks in colorectal surgery practice. Bringing together 5 globally renowned experts, it addresses the incidence, financial, functional, and oncological costs of leaks. Dr. Antonio M. de Lacy, the founder of the AIS Channel, will demonstrate laparoscopic leak management. The program will conclude with a lively globally interactive panel discussion. Designed for every surgeon and surgical trainee involved in colorectal anastomosis, this program offers invaluable insights.
