Anastomotic leaks have
devastating implications:
devastating implications:
- Doubles length of hospital stay3 and increases cost of $28,600 per patient on average2
- Significantly greater chances of wound infection and increased mortality rates of up to 32%2
Intra-Operative Endoscopy (IOE)
supports better clinical outcomes4:
supports better clinical outcomes4:
- Allowed the reduction of potential leak rate by 91.8% compared to no testing4
- Reduced anastomosis related morbidity from the expected 3.2% to 1.3%4
