Postoperative non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and anastomotic leakage after gastrointestinal anastomoses: Systematic review and meta‐analysis

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to control postoperative pain; however, their postoperative use has been associated with anastomotic leakage after gastrointestinal surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the correlation between the use of NSAIDs and anastomotic leakage.
