We read with interest the response to our paper "Endoluminal negative pressure therapy in colorectal anastomotic leaks" by Dioscoridi et al. [1]. We would like to congratulate the authors for the excellent and innovative work, which substantially contributes to better treatment of colorectal anastomotic leaks. Their successful management is of paramount importance to prevent the development of a chronic presacral sinus, which is very difficult to treat and is associated with a higher rate of a permanent stoma (60%) and impaired quality of life [2].

Abstract
We read with interest the response to our paper "Endoluminal negative pressure therapy in colorectal anastomotic leaks" by Dioscoridi et al. [1]. We would like to congratulate the authors for the excellent and innovative work, which substantially contributes to better treatment of colorectal anastomotic leaks. Their successful management is of paramount importance to prevent the development of a chronic presacral sinus, which is very difficult to treat and is associated with a higher rate of a permanent stoma (60%) and impaired quality of life [2].File in questo prodotto:
