Article Synopsis
- Neoadjuvant therapy (NT) is a standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer, and endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) is used to address anastomotic leakage after rectal surgery.
- A study analyzed 243 patients who underwent rectal resection, finding that 19.3% experienced anastomotic leakage requiring EVT, with 61.7% of these patients receiving NT.
- Results showed no significant differences in EVT duration, healing time, treatment failure rates, or ostomy reversal between patients who received NT and those who didn't, indicating that NT does not negatively impact EVT outcomes.
