The direct traumatic injury of surgery initiates a chain of physiological events via the endocrine, metabolic, cardiovascular and immune systems. The unregulated stress response can lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), but if the response was totally obliterated then this would predispose to infection and failure of the recovery process. To an extent this response is ...
