Prospective evaluation of the systemic immune response following abdominal, vaginal, and laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy
2001
Background
Alterations in serum levels of cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) and acute-phase protein C-reactive protein (CRP) correlate directly with extent of tissue damage and inflammatory reaction. We therefore prospectively compared the postoperative levels of IL-6 and CRP following abdominal (AH), vaginal (VH), and laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH).
