ABSTRACT
Most general anesthesia procedures are performed without any complications, but volatile agents may have adverse effects on various organ systems. Volatile anesthetic agents can cause mild to fulminant liver failure. However, while desflurane is a theoretical cause of hepatotoxicity, such cases have rarely been reported. We present here a 49-year-old man who developed hepatic dysfunction after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and this procedure was done under desflurane anesthesia.
