Effects of abdominal surgery through a midline incision on postoperative trunk flexion strength in patients with colorectal cancer
2014
Background
Abdominal surgery with bowel resection through a midline or transverse incision is performed in most cases of colorectal cancer (CRC). Both incisions affect abdominal wall function and may lead to differences in postoperative clinical outcomes. Although postoperative isometric trunk flexion strength (ITFS) has previously been investigated, the results were based on measurement tools distinguished by poor reproducibility and validity.
