Intraabdominal pressure after rectal resections.
The mean correlation curves of the intraabdominal pressure over time were evaluated by regression analysis (value 0.05) in both groups. The curves had a rising character in both groups, but in the control group the curve rose more steeply and reached a higher level than the curve of studied group. The onset of peristalsis, first flatus and stool took a shorter time in the studied group. (Tab. 1, Fig. 5, Ref. 5.)
