Abstract:
Postoperative mortality and morbidity remained unchanged during the
last few years for some types of interventions. Sepsis and its severe
consequences are results of a malfunctioning immune system, impaired
by both lifestyle and disease.
Some simple measures are recommmended to prevent further deterioration
of the immune system. Among these, modifications of the postoperative
management are recommended: restricted use of the antibiotics, omission
of the prophylactic gastric decompression, postoperative drainage
and preoperative bowel preparation, restricted use of stored blood,
supply of antioxidants, etc.
Nutrition control of postoperative morbidity is also important (enteral
nutrition, synbiotics etc.).
