Clinical Challenges in Colorectal Surgery: Management of Anastomotic Leaks

This episode offers a practical, case-based overview of evaluating and managing anastomotic leaks in colorectal surgery. It highlights early clinical warning signs, optimal imaging, and a framework for choosing nonoperative versus operative strategies, including when to drain, divert, repair, or revise an anastomosis. The discussion also covers management considerations in diverted patients and those with Crohn’s disease, as well as long-term issues such as chronic leak–related complications and planning for stoma reversal. Join Drs. Jared Hendren, Elissa Dabaghi, Joseph Trunzo, Ajaratu Keshinro, and David Rosen as they discuss this clinical challenge in colorectal surgery.
