note = "Both cellular and humoral immune mechanisms play an important role in the systemic response to surgical injury and tissue healing, especially after procedures requiring visceral resections ( 1). Major surgery induces an activation of the hypothalamus-hypophysis-adrenal axis, followed by a spleen rapid mobilization of neutrophilic granulocytes and their massive influx in the bloodstream together with blood lymphocyte depletion.",
