Sorin Cimpean, Arianna Grilli

Abstract

Anastomotic leak is a frequent complication in general surgery which is related to significant morbidity and mortality. Nowadays, several approaches are utilized, frequently invasive for the patient. Nevertheless, a common strategy for anastomotic leak management has not been identified. We report here an alternative surgical procedure, associated to reduced interventional time and less invasively for the patient.
