Gut Oxygenation and Laparoscopy

December 24, 2009 updated by: University of Milano Bicocca

GUT OXYGENATION DURING AND AFTER LAPAROSCOPIC AND OPEN COLON RESECTION. A RANDOMIZAD CLINICAL TRIAL

Patients with left-colon cancer will be randomized to laparoscopic or laparotomic operation. during surgery and for 6 days after operation, intestinal oxygen tension and ischemia-reperfusion injury markers will be evaluated to understand if pneumoperitoneum is associated with reduced splanchnic blood flow and ischemia-reperfusion injury.
