The stress response to surgery is a result of tissue injury with local and systemic inflammation that contributes to the postoperative outcome. Anesthesia is known to effect perioperative stress response Regional anesthesia modifies stress response through afferent blockage whereas general anesthesia affects the stress response via central modulation. High sensitive C-reactive protein and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio are used for evaluation of inflammation. The aim of this study was to document the value hs-CRP and NLR in perioperative stress response in two different anesthesia methods applied to term pregnant women undergoing elective ceserean section (C/S).
