Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a pervasive and risky postoperative complication that presently features inaccessible prevention, delayed diagnosis, and intractable remediation, resulting in distressing morbidity and mortality. Herein an interior/exterior collaboration-enhanced neoteric intestinal anastomosis (IECIA) is developed, which consists of an interior hydrogel-based protective barrier adhering to mucosa, and exterior synergistic leakage-prevention safeguard sutured to serosa, for multi-tiered leakage complication management. Noticeably, the hydrogel barrier protects anastomosis stoma against injurious stimulation from digestive liquid, consequently reducing leakage risk effectively and comfortably in place of painful gastric tube insertion. The exterior safeguard encompassing fluorescein-loaded hydrogel and electrospun film functions as a secondary defense, exhibiting critical leakage-prevention capability to refrain from lethal intra-abdominal infection. Meanwhile, fluorescein is released to the enteric cavity for following detection within the excrement in case anastomotic leakage occurs, achieving presymptomatic alarming in providing valuable prompts for timely clinical intervention. Importantly, IECIA has been investigated in realistic in vivo end-to-end intestinal anastomosis scenarios as well as simulated leakage models, which present satisfactory postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal functions and systematic indexes. Moreover, the IECIA system is endowed with guaranteed biocompatibility, effective durability, comprehensibility for surgical operation, comfort, and compliance for patients, which demonstrates precious value for clinical translation.
