Analysis of risk factors for anastomotic fistula in patients after laparoscopic radical resection for rectal cancer

Key Points

• An early predictive model aids in identifying patients at high risk for anastomotic fistula formation.
• Data indicate that early intervention can significantly reduce the risk of complications post-surgery.
• Assessment through a predictive model was essential for determining risk factors after laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer.
• High-risk identification may enhance clinical outcomes and reduce patient suffering, highlighting the importance of this model.
