Data is median with interquartile range.
P < 0.05 vs before the procedure;
P < 0.05 vs POD 28-30;
P < 0.05 vs post-operative day (POD) 7 and PODs 28-30, no significant differences between the groups [natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) vs laparoscopy]. CRP: C-reactive protein; WBC: White blood count; IL-6: Interleukin 6.
