Popis: Background: The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) occurs after a wide variety of insults. Recent studies have revealed that the number of SIRS criteria exhibited by a patient may have clinical importance. For this reason, we sought to determine whether the magnitude of a surgical insult is associated with the number of SIRS criteria satisfied. Study design: We retrospectively investigated relationships between the number of SIRS criteria and the type of surgical procedure, either transthoracic (n = 79) or transhiatal esophagectomy (n =42), in 121 consecutive male patients younger than 75 years of age with carcinoma of the esophagus. Results: Operative injury was more extensive in the transthoracic group than in the transhiatal group in terms of the mean operative time (392 ± 65 versus 215 ± 70 min, p
