Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in thethird postoperative period of patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery of size II and III and verify theirassociation with the need for reoperation. Results: The medical records of 127 patients were analyzed. Thestudy showed that CRP on the third postoperative day was the only parameter with statistical significance(p=0.042) related to postoperative fistulas. The NLR ratio did not demonstrate significance (p=0.098) inpredicting postoperative complications. Conclusions: The use of inflammatory markers, such as CRP, provedto be reliable in patients who required reoperation after elective colorectal surgery, being an independentpredictor factor for this. However, the NLR did not have significant changes in these cases.
