Population‐based cohort study of the impact on postoperative mortality of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer

Anastomotic leakage following anterior resection for rectal cancer may result in death. The aim of this study was to yield an updated, population‐based estimate of postoperative mortality and evaluate possible interacting factors.
