ASSESSMENT OF EFFICACY OF MELATONIN IN SURGICAL TREATMENT OF COLON TUMORS

Abstract

Melatonin is neurohormone, which is involved in regulation of many functions of an organism, including the digestive system. Therefore the authors offered to include this hormone as a preconditioner factor in surgical treatment of colon tumors using laparotomy and laparoscopy. Preoperative application of melatonin allowed shortening the terms of postoperative period and hospital stay.
