Summary

Each colorectal anastomosis is routinely evaluated intraoperatively by sigmoidoscopy and, in the presence of signs of bleeding, also postoperatively (persistent rectal bleeding within 24 hours after surgery).

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to assess the incidence of anastomotic bleeding in double-stapled anastomoses in relation to the position of the trocar relative to the rectal staple line (on the mesenteric side of the rectal staple line versus opposite the mesenteric side).
