Abstract
Anastomotic leakage is highly associated with permanent stoma after anterior resection, especially in patients aged ≥ 70 years. In this cohort of patients with anastomotic leakage, 65% had permanent stoma at long-term follow-up. A defunctioning stoma ameliorates the clinical course but does not affect the end result of bowel continuity in established anastomotic leakage after anterior resection.
