RESUMEN
Reconstructive-restorative operations were conducted on the large intestine in 932 patients. Means of optimization of treatment in the early postoperative period in elderly and old-aged patients, who often have concomitant diseases, must be searched for. The dynamics of energy consumption in the early postoperative period was studied in 15 patients. Considerable effectiveness of complex diet including proteins was established during elaboration of individual dosed feeding. The immune status was studied in dynamics in 38 patients; immunomodulation agents lead in most cases to restoration of the reduced immunity indices or have a stabilizing effect on them when used both as a preventive and as a therapeutic measure. Percutaneous electrostimulation in the early postoperative period proved to be highly effective in arresting the pain syndrome, removal of functional intestinal paresis and reflex ischuria.
