Oedema formation was related to fluid balance, changes in whole-body bioimpedance (Z) measured at four frequencies (5, 50, 100 and 200 kHz), and clinical outcome.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The 20 patients who developed oedema were older than those who did not (mean(s.d.) 73(9) versus 63(14) years; P = 0\u00b7007). Fluid intake over the first 5 days after surgery was similar in both groups, but those with oedema excreted less total fluid (16\u00b79(2\u00b74) versus 19\u00b77(3\u00b75) litres; P = 0\u00b7022). Oedema was associated with a delay in tolerating solid food (P = 0\u00b7001) and opening bowels (P = 0\u00b7020), a prolonged hospital stay (median 17 (range 8\u201359) versus 9 (range 4\u201327) days; P = 0\u00b7001) and more postoperative complications (13 of 20 versus four of 18 patients; P = 0\u00b7011). The preoperative ratio of whole-body impedance at 200 kHz to that at 5 kHz was higher in those who subsequently developed oedema (0\u00b781(0\u00b703) versus 0\u00b778(0\u00b702); P = 0\u00b7015).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The development of oedema after major abdominal surgery is associated with increased morbidity.
