Abstract
Background. Immunomodulation may represent a potential way to improve surgical outcome. These types of interventions should be based on detailed knowledge of the underlying mechanisms involved. The aim of the present review is to summarize some experience on the acute phase response, potential ways of intervention and experiences from critical illness and HPB disease. Discussion. Mechanisms of the acute phase response are discussed including the individual parameters and local changes that take part. Mechanisms involved in failure of the gut barrier are presented and include changes in gut barrier permeability, effects on gut-associated immunocompetent cells, and systemic implications. As examples of HPB disease, mechanisms of the acute... (More)
Background. Immunomodulation may represent a potential way to improve surgical outcome. These types of interventions should be based on detailed knowledge of the underlying mechanisms involved. The aim of the present review is to summarize some experience on the acute phase response, potential ways of intervention and experiences from critical illness and HPB disease. Discussion. Mechanisms of the acute phase response are discussed including the individual parameters and local changes that take part. Mechanisms involved in failure of the gut barrier are presented and include changes in gut barrier permeability, effects on gut-associated immunocompetent cells, and systemic implications. As examples of HPB disease, mechanisms of the acute phase response and potential ways of intervention in obstructive jaundice and acute pancreatitis are discussed. Nutritional pharmacology and lessons learned from immunomodulation and immunonutrition in critical illness and major abdominal surgery, including upper GI and HPB surgery, are referred to. Overall, immunomodulation represents a potential tool to improve results but requires a thorough mapping of underlying mechanisms in order to achieve individualized treatment or prevention based on patients' specific needs.
