^aIleocolic anastomoses were performed in right hemicolectomies and extended right hemicolectomies.

^bColocolic anastomoses were performed in left hemicolectomies and sigmoid colectomies.

^cColorectal anastomoses were performed in anterior resections.

^dSSI: surgical site infection.

^eDeep organ space infection includes anastomotic leakage and intra-abdominal abscess.
