Figure 2 Inflammatory markers after surgery.White blood cells, IL-8 and CRP from patient blood samples taken at baseline (pre-surgery) and at 24 hours, 7 days, and 3 months after surgery. Levels are presented as mean±SD. (A) WBC count, (B) IL-8, (C) CRP. Confidence intervals are indicated in red bars. ** P<0.01; **** P<0.0001. ns – not significant; SD – standard deviation; WBC – white blood cells.
