75 International Consensus on Reporting colorectal Anastomotic Leaks (CoReAL) CONCLUSION The CoReAL project’s international collaborative consensus reporting framework represents an important advancement towards standardization of reporting colorectal AL. By building on the highest level of evidence and incorporating diverse expert and patient perspectives, this framework may help to enhance the quality of reporting of anastomotic leak, de-stigmatizing leak, and moving our field towards a patient-centered approach that can lead to improving patient outcomes and future research.
