Abstract

Postoperative septic complications related to intestinal injury are regulated by a complex group of factors, including intestinal microflora, site of injury, surgical procedures used, and the type of antimicrobial therapy; however, a large number of yet-to-be understood factors also exist that influence septic morbidity associated with intestinal surgery. The authors present an overview of this serious complication of surgery.
