Project Details
Description
Anastomotic leak is a complication of intestinal anastomoses that despite perioperative preventive measures, has an incidence of 2%−7% in experienced centers. In order to achieve early detection of intestinal fistula, different diagnostic methods have been investigated, without achieving the expected efficacy. In recent years, the most commonly used serological markers for this purpose are C Reactive
Protein (PCR) and Procalcitonin.
This study aims to estimate the association between procalcitonin (≥ 2 ng/dL)
as an early inflammatory marker and intestinal anastomotic leakage in the Coloproctological Service of the Hospital Universitario Mayor − Mederi, between September 2017 and January 2019.
