Core Tip	Hepatic resection results in an inflammatory response that can be modified by perioperative steroid administration. However, it remains to be determined if this response's attenuation translates to a reduction in complications. This systematic review compares eight randomized controlled trials including 590 patients. We found that perioperative steroid administration was associated with a significant reduction in postoperative complications. There was also improvement in biochemical and inflammatory markers.
