SYSTEMIC ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION AND POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS IN OPERATED ONCOLOGICAL PATIENTS
To determine the effect of endothelial dysfunction on the postoperative course and outcomes of treatment, 122 patients with gastric cancer were examined. The revealed complications of the early postoperative period included: failure of the anastomosis; purulent-inflammatory complications in the postoperative wound area; sepsis. An excess of the frequency of all identified complications in patients with severe endothelial dysfunction in the preoperative period was detected. The relative number of patients with postoperative complications had the difference in 2.27 times (p = 0.042). All lethal outcomes in the early postoperative period were observed in the group with severe endothelial dysfunction.
