Summary
Anesthesia may affect the function of vital organs. Liver is one of them. The investigator's
hypothesis is that intravenous or inhalation anesthesia does not impair liver function as
assessed by more elegant tests like markers indicating liver apoptosis. In the present
randomized prospective trial female patients scheduled for mastectomy or thyroidectomy will
receive inhalation or total intravenous anesthesia and markers for liver dysfunction will be
determined.
