Laparoscopic redo anastomosis for management of intraperitoneal anastomotic leakage after colonic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is still no consensus on the management of intraperitoneal anastomotic leakage after colonic surgery. Among of various treatment strategies, laparoscopic redo anastomosis for intraperitoneal leakage has rarely been reported in the literature and is condemned by some. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic redo anastomosis for intraperitoneal anastomotic leakage.

Methods

Retrospective chart review of laparoscopic redo anastomosis for intraperitoneal anastomotic leakage after colonic surgery from January 2013 to May 2020. An accompanying video demonstrates the technique.

Results

Fifteen consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic redo anastomosis for management of leakage after colonic surgery; two patients re
