Pilot study of perioperative accidental durotomy: does the period of postoperative bed rest reduce the incidence of complication?
A longer period of mandatory bed rest does not decrease the rate of complications. Patients should be mobilised as soon as they can. This could potentially reduce the length of hospital stay and the cost of aftercare.
Our findings indicate that tube splinting may be more useful than simple enterolysis alone in preventing the recurrence of ASBO in patients with SEP.
