Abstract
Background: Anastomotic leakage is a major complication following intestinal resection, significantly affecting patient outcomes.
Objective: To identify clinical, biochemical, and intra-operative factors influencing anastomotic healing.
Methods: This prospective observational study included 50 patients undergoing intestinal resection and anastomosis at a tertiary care hospital.
Results: The overall leak rate was 16%. Significant predictors of leakage included low hemoglobin (<10 g/dL), hypoalbuminemia (<3.5 g/dL), and elevated renal parameters (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Early identification and correction of modifiable risk factors can help reduce anastomotic complications and improve surgical outcomes.
