ABSTRACT
Introduction: intestinal anastomosis is a common surgery with a high rate of complications that justifies the study of risk factors.
Objective: to determine whether prolonged surgical time is a risk factor for the incidence of colorectal anastomotic dehiscence.
Material and methods: retrospective, analytical study, patients with colorectal anastomosis from January 2022 to January 2024, by sampling consecutive cases. They are described in means, standard deviations, medians and interquartile ranges.
Results: anastomotic dehiscence occurred in 20% of surgeries lasting less than 180 minutes and in 21% of those lasting longer than 180 minutes, with no significant differences between both groups (p = 0.889).
Conclusion: no significance was found between prolonged surgical time and anastomotic dehiscence. However, the study demonstrated a risk in patients with a history of two or more previous surgeries, so preventive measures could be suggested in the future.
