- Abstract
Anastomotic leakage is a major cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality in the treatment of colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the modified double-stapling technique (MDST), as an alternative for conventional double-stapling technique (DST), and whether it could reduce the anastomotic leakage rate in laparoscopic anterior resection (Lapa-AR).
