Throughout the past years, the TENTACLE - Rectum study group has published two manuscripts on severity and treatment of anastomotic leak after rectal cancer resection. These manuscripts are the result of a massive effort of all participating centers and numerous collaborators involved:

​

• Stoma-free survival after anastomotic leak following rectal cancer resection: worldwide cohort of 2470 patients.
  British Journal of Surgery, 2023
   

• Stoma-free survival after rectal cancer resection with anastomotic leakage: development and validation of a prediction model in a large international cohort
  Annals of Surgery, 2023
