Predicting Value of Serum Procalcitonin, C-reactive Protein, and Drain Fluid Culture, Fluid Il-6 and Tnf-α Levels in Anastomotic Leakage Following Rectal Resection

Evaluating predictive value of serum procalcitonin, C-Reactive Protein, drain IL-6 and TNF-alpha for anastomotic leakage in post-operative period.

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

To search for a biomarker, which might be able to predict rectal anastomotic leakage before its clinical presentation. Serum procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and drain fluid culture, IL-6 and TNF-α levels were evaluated in 50 consecutive patients with rectal cancer who underwent low anterior resection with colorectal anastomosis.
