Faut-il réaliser un scanner quand la protéine C réactive est élevée après chirurgie colorectale ? Résultats de la cohorte IMACORS

A study protocol should be set up to evaluate whether systematic revisional surgery or repeat CT scan is the appropriate management if CRP in the next two days reveals persistent inflammation.
