Role of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) as a Predictive Marker of Anastomotic Leak in Colorectal Surgery: Is it Still Reliable?

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: Anastomotic leaks after colorectal surgery is associated with serious morbidity and early diagnosis is critical. C-reactive protein (CRP) on postoperative day (POD) 3 to 5 has been described as a good predictor of anastomotic leak. Therefore, this study aims to review if CRP level of greater than 150mg/l is a reliable …
