“…Indeed these factors, to an extent, limit the generalisability of the results of the present study. However, the exclusion of the 6 studies which included a small proportion of patients without malignant disease would have significantly reduced the power of the present meta-analysis [30,[35][36][37]39]. A significant degree of heterogeneity was reported in the analysis of postoperative IL-6 and CRP.…”

“…Administration of glucocorticoids in a single preoperative dose has promising effects based on several randomised trials first of all as an anti-emetic in relatively small doses (4-8 mg dexamethasone) but also in higher doses (about 125 mg methylprednisolone) to reduce pain and facilitate early recovery [19,20]. In abdominal surgery the antiinflammatory effects of 8 mg dexamethasone is controversial [21,22] while larger doses may have both antiinflammatory and enhanced recovery effects [23,24]. Based on these initial promising results and since there may be no safety aspects [19], further procedure-specific studies on the recovery effects of perioperative glucocorticoids are required.…”
