Abstract
PURPOSE:Intra-abdominal infection is generally considered a major risk factor for dehiscence of primary colon anastomosis. To elucidate the indications for nutritional support during intra-abdominal sepsis, we investigated the healing of anastomoses in an animal model.METHODS:Twenty male SprKeywords
