Early detection of fistula or abscess after sleeve gastrectomy simplifies the management of these complications. While the ideal biomarker of infection does not yet exist, this study shows that clinical observations in association with CRP and PCT measurements could be of help for the early detection of septic complications after sleeve gastrectomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
