Abstract excerpt
Abstract Anastomotic leaks (AL) are the most severe complications of colorectal surgery. The cause of AL is unclear, but recent studies have implicated the intestinal microbiota in its development. We aimed to determine whether there is an identifiable microbial pattern in the mucosal microbiota associated with AL.
