Anastomotic leakage occurs more frequently after colo-colic and ileo-colic anastomosis than after intraperitoneal colorectal anastomosis. The right colectomy appears to be at higher risk of AL, with a greater risk of surgical intervention than after an elective left colectomy. Ileo-colic anastomosis should be avoided in cases of suboptimal conditions.
