Evaluation of the Predictive Nature of the Postoperative CRP on Postoperative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Resection (CRP-Track)

Evaluation of the Predictive Nature of the Postoperative CRP on Postoperative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Resection

Colic and rectal resection represents a majority of hospitalizations in visceral surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic of inflammatory markers dosage (CRP, procalcitonin and venous lactate) on the postoperative recovery after colorectal surgery and on the length of stay.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Upper age to 18 years
• Planned hospital stay for a colonic resection with anastomosis without permanent or temporary digestive bypass
• Patient with pre-operative CRP lower or egal to 172 mg/L
• No opposition at the participation of the study
• Expected patient return home after surgery (or convalescent home or not medicalized institution)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient under guardianship
• Protected or private patient freedom
• Minor patient
• Colectomy surgery with digestive bypass or digestive anastomosis
• Complex combined surgery (significantly intestinal resection associated, another surgical procedure that can interfere with postoperative CRP)
• General inflammatory disease susceptive to modify dosage values
• Anti-inflammatory therapy (AINS/ corticosteroids/ immunosuppressive)
• Patient unable to understand the study
