Introduction : In neonates, the influence of surgery on the inflammatory response has not been fully characterized and it remains difficult to differentiate an inflammatory response from sepsis. In this study, we evaluated changes in interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in neonates undergoing different major abdominal surgeries who had a normal postoperative course without infection.
