This study will assess the effectiveness of commercially available LifeSeal® Kit as measured by the incidence of post-operative clinical anastomotic leak rates in subjects undergoing low and ultralow anterior resection with an anastomosis. All patients treated with LifeSeal® will be offered to participate
The LifeSeal® Kit is a novel surgical sealant intended to be used as an adjunct to suture or staple line during standard surgical repair of the GI tract (anastomosis or linear) to provide re-inforcement and help reduce leaks. The LifeSeal™ Kit has recently been CE certified on March 2016 for marketing in the European Union.
