What are the postoperative complications of colon cancer

One: anastomotic leakage: the most serious complication of colon cancer surgery, the incidence of left colon surgery is higher. The incidence of anastomotic leakage was about 6.5% due to poor preoperative technique.

Second: presacral hemorrhage: the fatal complication of colon cancer surgery is presacral hemorrhage. The main reason is the injury of presacral venous plexus when separating the posterior wall of intestine. Because the presacral venous plexus is reticular, fixed in front of the sacrum, and has communication with the vertebral vein in the sacral foramen, once the bleeding point shrinks into the sacral foramen, it is difficult to stop bleeding.
