The post-operative delirium picture is a serious and common complication seen after any major surgery, including hepatic resection. Patients who will be planned to undergo donor hepatectomy for liver transplantation will be included in the study. Basic clinical and demographic information of patients undergoes donor hepatectomy will be recorded before surgery. The anatomical parameters such as liver volume, medications performed during the surgery, complications, bleeding amounts, fluids given, blood and blood products, vital signs during surgery, fluid balance, duration of surgery, recovery length at post-operative period, complications after surgery, approaches to complications, analgesics and other medications used, hemogram and other biochemical parameters (electrolytes, albumin, liver frontier tests, etc.), weight status, vital signs, duration of intensive care, post-operative VAS scores, drainage and information such as length of stay, length of hospital stay, the healing time of the wound will also be recorded. During the hospitalization, the delirium status of the patients will be evaluated with a delirium evaluation scale by consultant doctor. Blood will be taken for the measurement of S100β, NSE, and GFAP levels one day before donor hepatectomy and following day of hepatectomy, 3rd day, and 7th day in the post-operative period. The plasma of the blood taken will be separated and stored at -80 0C until working. Laboratory values are taken from the patients before the operation will be recorded over the system. The relationship between the results obtained and the delirium evaluation scores performed on the days followed will be evaluated. This study aims to analyze the delirium incidence and post-operative early S100β, NSE, and GFAP levels within the first week following the hepatectomy performed in live donors for liver transplantation.
