Melatonin is neurohormone, which is involved in regulation of many functions of an organism, including the digestive system. Therefore the authors offered to include this hormone as a preconditioner factor in surgical treatment of colon tumors using laparotomy and laparoscopy. Preoperative application of melatonin allowed shortening the terms of postoperative period and hospital stay.
