Prognostic Role of Bacterial Translocation, Serum Endotoxin, and ZO-1 in Postoperative Infections Following Colorectal Cancer Surgery
Open and laparoscopic colectomy show similar infection rates. Serum ZO-1 and endotoxin are not reliable infection predictors. BT, detected <i>via</i> MLN and liver cultures, is an independent infection risk factor and may aid in identifying high-risk patients for enhanced postoperative surveillance and early intervention.
