|
Primary Outcome(s)
|
|
Concentration of cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-1Beta, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-gamma) at different time points will be our primary outcome.
[Time Frame: Change from baseline cytokin levels]
|
|
Secondary Outcome(s)
|
|
The secondary outcome parameters would be the quality of recovery score (QoR-40) to measure quality of recovery from surgery and a simple fatigue scale.
[Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks before the day of the surgery. On post-operative day 1, 2, 3. And phone follow-ups on day 30 and day 90 after the surgery.]
