bTwo patients underwent reoperation for adhesive intestinal obstruction (Cam+TP group) or anastomotic leak (TP group).
cMortality within 30 days included sudden postoperative death, cause unknown (Cam+nab-TP group), septic shock (Cam+TP group) and myocardial infarction (TP group).
dMortality within 90 days included mortality within 30 days, with one more death in Cam+nab-TP group (severe pneumonia).
