Serial assessment of inflammatory parameters for prediction of septic complications following surgery for colorectal endometriosis : A descriptive, retrospective study.

Relevant elevations of serum CRP and WBC levels were demonstrated in patients with early septic complications following surgery for colorectal DE starting at postoperative day 2-4. The cut-off value of 10 mg/dl for CRP levels may serve as an early predictor for lower GIT-related septic complications but should be used with caution in women with suspected RVF development.
