There is a great deal of conflicting data regarding risk factors for anastomotic leakage, with most studies being small and looking only at anastomoses performed at one level of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Surgeons have looked at patient and technical variables with inconsistent findings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, possible predictive factors, and results of treatment of anastomotic dehiscence in patients undergoing operations at all levels of the GI tract.
