Insignificant effect of desflurane-fentanyl-thiopental on hepatocellular integrity - a comparison with total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol-remifentanil: Retracted

Abstract

The use of propofol as part of a TIVA regimen seems to have no influence on hepatocellular function during and after surgery. In contrast, patients receiving desflurane showed a transient slight, but significant, increase of alpha-GST to above the normal upper limit after anaesthesia, although this was without further clinical relevance.
