One of the severe complications leading in some cases to the lethal outcome after colorectal resection is purulent complication with development of intestinal anastomosis failure. The following factors influence anastomosis failure: the patient's condition at the time of surgery; measures to prevent infection of the abdominal cavity; technical aspects of the operation both in terms of tactics and in the application of the anastomosis; measures aimed at decompression of the operated intestinal area.
