Reconstructive-restorative operations were conducted on the large inte
stine in 932 patients. Means of optimization of treatment in the early
postoperative period in elderly and old-aged patients, who often have
concomitant diseases, must be searched for. The dynamics of energy co
nsumption in the early postoperative period was studied in 15 patients
. Considerable effectiveness of complex diet including proteins was es
tablished during elaboration of individual dosed feeding. The immune s
tatus was studied in dynamics in 38 patients; immunomodulation agents
lead in most cases to restoration of the reduced immunity indices or h
ave a stabilizing effect on them when used both as a preventive and as
a therapeutic measure. Percutaneous electrostimulation in the early p
ostoperative period proved to be highly effective in arresting the pai
n syndrome, removal of functional intestinal paresis and reflex ischur
ia.
