Findings on attenuated inflammation are inconsistent; leaves open the clinical relevance of any early cytokine differences after colectomy.
Does laparoscopic colonic resection reduce the inflammatory response compared to open colonic resection in patients undergoing colectomy?
Laparoscopic colonic resection may be associated with a slightly attenuated early systemic inflammatory response compared to open surgery, though evidence is mixed.
Tsamis et al. (2010) studied this question.
