Aim: The aim of our study was to investigate is surgical stress induce alterations in insulin sensitivity in the course of cholecystectomy performed in two differnt procedures: as a open surgery and as laparascopic operation.Material and methods: The homeostasis assessment model (HOMA) was used to determine insulin sensitivity before and in the first, third and seventh day after the operation. Patients were divided int two groups: group A (open cholecyst...

Introduction: Different surgical procedures are followed by alteration in insulin sensitivity. The aim of our investigation was to analysed the influence of major (open cholecystectomy) and minor surgical stress (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) on insulin resistance.Methods: Insulin resistance was calculated by HOMA-IR before surgery and at 1st, 3rd, and 7th day after the elective operations. All participants were divided in two groups: group A with open c...
