Figures

Figure 1. Effect of propofol on the peak levels of IL-6 in the plasma of the hysterectomy group (a) and the vulvectomy group (b). The correlations were not significant.
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Effect of surgery duration on the peak levels of IL-6 in the plasma of the hysterectomy group (a) and the vulvectomy group (b). The correlations were significant in both groups. Surgery duration is defined as the time period between the start and the end of surgery.
