@entity14 is a clinical condition whose treatment often involves intestinal resection. Such treatment frequently results in two major @entity344 after surgery: anastomotic leakage and prolonged ileus. @entity834 is a serious complication which, more often than not, is diagnosed late; to date, @entity1851 is the only available diagnostic marker. A monocentric, prospective, open case-control study was performed in @entity1 (n = 117) undergoing colorectal surgery. Intestinal @entity844 binding protein ( @entity1630 ), @entity7792 , @entity6853 , exhaled @entity3884 , @entity526 genomic DNA, and @entity63 modified albumin (IMA) were determined preoperatively, postoperatively, and on the following four consecutive days. Bacterial DNA was not detected in any sample, and @entity1630 and @entity6853 lacked any distinct potential to detect postoperative bowel complications. Exhaled breath @entity3884 content showed unacceptably low sensitivity. However, citrulline turned out to be a specific marker for prolonged ileus on postoperative days 3-4. Using a cut-off value of 20    mol/L, a sensitivity and specificity of ~75% was achieved on postoperative day 4. IMA was found to be an efficient predictor of @entity254 leak by calculating the difference between preoperative and postoperative values. This test had 100% sensitivity and 80% specificity and 100% negative and 20% positive predictive value.
