pubmed:abstractText
Extensive liver resection is associated with a higher morbidity and mortality than other major abdominal surgery. Because the liver is responsible for the clearance of pathogenic particles as well as the clearance and degradation of several inflammatory mediators, the high rate of complications after liver surgery may be due to an enhanced or prolonged inflammatory response. The objective of this prospective study was to investigate whether major liver resection is associated with an enhanced systemic inflammatory response.
