Hospital stay after the endoscopic treatment averaged 11,6+/-1,1 days. 90,8% of those, who were treated endoscopically, has completely recovered during the hospital stay and didn't require further treatment. 31,6% of patients experienced a suppuration of the postoperative wound, which called forth the conversion to the open operative technique. These patients had an average hospital stay of 15,6+/-2,1 days. The hospital stay of the patients treated traditionally with wide opening of the wound and secondary sutures, averaged 19,3+/-1,8 days. The hospital stay of patients with a complicated disease course was 26,4+/-3,4 days. |
