Serum AST (U/L), ALT (U/L), and total bilirubin (mg/dL) values.

	Group I (𝑛=20)	Group II (𝑛=23)
Preoperative AST	24.63 ± 8.1	22.01 ± 8.1
Postoperative 1st-hour AST	26.78 ± 7.2	34.06 ± 8.2^∗€
Postoperative 24th-hour AST	27.70 ± 8.8	29.20 ± 8.1
Preoperative ALT	24.50 ± 7.5	24.91 ± 18.9
Postoperative 1st-hour ALT	28.85 ± 10.4	38.52 ± 10.16^∗€
Postoperative 24th-our ALT	30.62 ± 8.3	34.71 ± 14.8
Preoperative bilirubin	0.67 ± 0.34	0.69 ± 0.57
Postoperative 1st-hour bilirubin	0.73 ± 0.39	0.75 ± 0.62
Postoperative 24th-hour bilirubin	0.71 ± 0.28	0.73 ± 0.52

AST: serum aspartate aminotransferase (normal range 0–34 U/L).
ALT: serum alanine aminotransferase (normal range 10–49 U/L).
Bilirubin values: normal range 0.3–1.3 mg/dL.
* 𝑃<0.05, the postoperative 1st-hour serum AST and ALT level between groups.
^€𝑃<0.05, there was an increase between baseline and postoperative 1st-hour serum AST and ALT level in Group II compared to Group I.
