“…Insulin secretion and glucose tolerance during sevoflurane anesthesia have been studied in pigs [4] and in humans during surgery [5]. In addition, studies in human subjects have shown that isofluranenitrous oxide anesthesia has dose-independent effects on insulin secretion [6].…”

“…Saho et al suggested that sevoflurane and nitrous oxide anesthesia do not alter carbohydrate metabolism in comparison with combinations of nitrous oxide and other fluorocarbon anesthetics [17]. However, sevoflurane has been reported to lower insulin excretion in patients under prolonged anesthesia [18]. It is possible that even 0.2 g·kg Ϫ1 ·h Ϫ1 of glucose would induce hyperglycemia during prolonged sevoflurane anesthesia.…”

“…12,13 Even though the duration of surgery was significantly shorter in the VH group, the transvaginal procedure was associated with a higher plasma glucose concentration further emphasizing the greater stress potential of this surgical approach.…”

“…Since the choice of surgical technique was entirely left to the attending surgeon, selection bias cannot be excluded in this study. However, in order to minimize bias from factors with known or potential metabolic impact such as duration of surgery 12,13 and inflammatory disease, patients with an anticipated long duration of surgery (ovarian pathology, previously known dense adhesions, inaccessible uterus) or endometriosis were not admitted to the study protocol.…”
