![]() Anastomotic leakage was associated with a serum procalcitonin positive 3 days postoperatively (p-value <0.05). Ileocolic anastomosis presented a higher frequency (43.75%-n:7) of dehiscence. Laparoscopic approach was the most applied 60.34%, colorectal anastomosis was the most frequently performed (47.26%). ResultsĬohort of 237 patients, 51% women (18–89 years), with multiple comorbidities in 81% of patients, colon cancer was the most operated pathology (53.1%). Methodsĭescriptive retrospective cohort study of patients taken to colorectal surgery with intestinal anastomosis, the objective is to estimate association between procalcitonin (≥2 ng/dl) as an early inflammatory marker and anastomotic leakage in a Coloproctological Service of a highest level of health care hospital, between September 2017 and January 2019. To be able to achieve an early detection, serological markers such as Procalcitonin were included. Anastomotic leakage is a complication of intestinal anastomosis, with an incidence of 2%–7% in centers of experience.
