Summary: | Abstract Background The safety of healthy volunteer donors is one of the most important issues in living-donor liver transplantation. Use of the Pringle maneuver during donor hepatectomy can result in liver ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of isoflurane and propofol on IR injury caused by the Pringle maneuver during donor hepatectomy. Methods A total of 70 American Society of Anesthesiology I-II donors aged 18–65 years who underwent hepatectomy were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: propofol and isoflurane. Plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidative status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and oxidative stress index (OSI) were measured before surgery (t0 ) and after surgery (t1 ). Results There were no statistically significant differences in demographic features, anesthesia, and times of surgery between the groups ( P > .05). Plasma TAC levels at t0 and t1 were significantly lower in the propofol group than in the isoflurane group ( P < .05). OSI at t1 was significantly higher in the propofol group than in the isoflurane group ( P < .05). MDA levels were significantly higher in the propofol group than in the isoflurane group at t0 ( P < .05). MDA levels level were significantly higher in the isoflurane group than in the propofol group at t1 ( P < .05). Conclusions Propofol may have protective effects against IR injury caused by the Pringle maneuver during donor hepatectomy in living-donor transplantations. However, the effectiveness of propofol for clinical use needs to be investigated further. |
