The previously described cut-off level for serum CRP of 10 mg/dl on the 4th postoperative day for the detection of early septic complications [22] also fits the present data, with all of the cases with AL, 1 of the 2 cases with RVF, as well as the case of abdominal wall abscess showing CRP levels between 11.6 mg/dl and 42.4 mg/dl on postoperative day 4. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is axial length measurement.
