Abstract

This study demonstrates that laparoscopic surgery appears to be associated with similar metabolic responses compared with open surgery, while immune parameters vary greatly between groups. The beneficial effects of laparoscopic surgery may relate, in part, to preservation of immune function in the postoperative period. (Arch Surg. 1994;129:1240-1246).
