“…Prospective randomized and non-randomized trials have compared the postoperative changes in immunologic and inflammatory parameters of different surgical procedures [6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46](table 1, 2). Most studies were performed in patients undergoing cholecystectomy, mainly showing a less pronounced postoperative increase in C-reactive protein, IL-1 and IL-6 for the laparoscopic approach, while the results of the systemic cellular changes differed between the different studies [9, 10, 13, 18, 22, 25, 27, 30, 32, 34, 39, 44].…”
