Objective To understand the related factors and prevention and treatment of anastomotic leakage after colorectal cancer operation.Method The literatures on the studies of colorectal anastomotic leakage in recent years were reviewed and analyzed.Results The occurrence of postoperative anastomotic leakage of colorectal cancer was usually related to many factors, besides the patients’ nutritional status, body mass index, gender, smoking and drinking history, preoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, etc., as well as the distance between the anastomotic stoma and the anal margin and the ligation of the left colonic artery. The monitors of albumin, prealbumin, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and other indicators might be better for early prediction of anastomotic leakage. The use of oral antibiotics while mechanical bowel preparation, intraoperative ICG fluorescence angiography, single-layer intestinal anastomosis, reducing the number of staplers, preserving the left colon artery, placing drainage tube through anus, and minimally invasive colorectal cancer resection might have some advantages in reducing the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage.Conclusions As a surgeon, risk factors associated with anastomotic leakage should be fully understood. It is of great significance to use related markers to identify early anastomotic leakage and timely intervene, and use of more accurate surgical procedures to reduce occurrence of anastomotic leakage.
