Colorectal cancer:
• Second most common form of cancer in Europe (2.9 million new cases/year)
• Surgical treatment: resection of the affected bowel and suture of the extremities to restore the normal transit (Anastomosis)
• Most feared complication: ANASTOMOTIC LEAKAGE (up to 23% of cases à mortality 39%)

COMPLICATION
ANASTOMOTIC LEAKAGE
11
A biopolymeric bioactive patch wrapped around the sutured part of the intestine capable of inducing a faster tissue regeneration, thus
promoting a safe ananstomosis in the critical period of tissue healing
