Variables included in the stepwise forward logistic regression analysis of risk factors for complications were age over 65 years, male gender, C-reactive protein over 150 mg/ml, diabetes, impaired renal function, previous laparotomy on the upper abdomen, duration of surgery over 90 min and conversion
