Postoperative impairment of liver function is common after hepatectomy. It may be caused by surgical trauma, loss of hepatic mass, stress response, hepatic oxygen deprivation, infection and drug toxicity.~Anesthetic agents used in general anesthesia for liver surgery have a big effect on hepatic blood flow, oxygen delivery and liver function This study will compare the effects of propofol/dexmedetomidine versus desflurane for maintenance of general anesthesia on hepatocellular injury in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy.
