European Society of Coloproctology in Thessaloniki 2024
THE CHALLENGE
In current clinical practice
stapling and suturing
are most common techniques for colorectal anastomosis
Colorectal surgeries globally per year
3.3M
8.6%*
Of surgeries will be complicated by anastomotic leakage
An estimate of $9bn will be spent annually worldwide to treat
complications of leakage **
The increasing number of adverse events after surgeries with stapling
is causing widespread concern ***
* Results of the international audit by the European Society of Coloproctology (2017)
** Includes additional costs of 30 days after surgery only. Lee et al, Surgical Endoscopy (2019)
