Effect of Online Educational Modules on Anastomotic Leak Rates Following Right Colectomy

The EAGLE study aimed to reduce anastomotic leak rates following right colectomy through a standardized quality improvement intervention. The study included 332 hospital teams from 64 countries, with completion of online educational modules by half of the surgeons. The primary analysis showed that completion of the educational modules significantly decreased leak rates in high-engagement centers but not in low-engagement hospitals. The study concluded that globally available digital training can effectively reduce anastomotic leak rates.
