Abstract
Cytokines are polypeptides produced mainly by activated leucocytes in response to infection and injury, including surgical trauma. Several reports have described the systemic cytokine response to a surgical operation, some of them in a sequential way1,2. This study was designed to determine the peritoneal and systemic cytokine response to elective abdominal surgery during the first 72 h after operation.Keywords
