Fig. 2 — Title Figure 2A , Anastomotic leakage for each type of index surgical procedure

Legend of Figure 2A, The anastomotic leakage rate after each type of index colon cancer resection. Patients with a unknown type of index colectomy (N=201) were excluded from analyses, resulting in the inclusion of 39,565 patients (right hemicolectomy N=20,330, transversectomy N=878, left hemicolectomy N=4,401, sigmoid resection N=13,379 and subtotal colectomy N=376)

Title Figure 2B, Type of reintervention for each type of index surgical procedure

Legend Figure 2B, Presents for each index procedure the type of reintervention for patients who suffered from anastomotic leakage. The type of reintervention was subdivided into non-surgical reinterventions (e.g. image guided, endoscopic or other reinterventions) and surgical reinterventions. Patients with a unknown type of index colectomy (N=16) or unknown type of reintervention (N=71) were excluded from analyses, resulting in the inclusion of 1,820 patients (right hemicolectomy N=791, transversectomy N=64, left hemicolectomy N=287, sigmoid resection N=622, subtotal colectomy N=56)
