A member asked:
What would happen if fluid collections and air bubbles around anorectal anastomosis cannot self-resolve properly after lar surgery?

Many things: The most concerning thing would be an abscess. This could require drainage via ct guidance or surgery. It could even cause breakdown of the anastomosis. Best to keep in close contact with your surgeon just in case.

Hmmm: Fluid with air inside abd is worrisome for abscess. Esp near anastomosis. But please follow your surgeon closely to avoid potential major problem.
