| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome parameter in this study is the occurrence of anastomotic leakage. Anastomotic leakage is defined: 1) Leakage of bowel content and/or gas from the surgical connection between the 2 bowel ends into the abdomen or pelvis with either spillage and/or fluid collection around the anastomotic site or extravasation through a wound, drain site of anus; 2) Clinical manifestion causing fever, abcess, septicaemia, peritonitis and/or organ failure; and 3) Confirmation by imaging technique (e.g. radiograph, endoscopy, CT-scan, MRI, sonography) or by digital rectal examination or anoscopy and/or proctoscopy for low rectal anastomoses. | — |
