Detection of Immune Changes as a Result of Surgical Trauma in Human Subject
Completed
Conditions studied: Surgical Trauma

The purpose of this study to characterize the cellular and molecular mechanisms immune response to surgical trauma. Additionally, detailed information about patients' recovery profile will be recorded over a period of 6 weeks, with the eventual goal of linking immune responses to recovery profiles.
