The degree of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is highly relevant to the incidence of postoperative liver failure and mortality. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have been shown to migrate to the liver and restore the damaged liver. Intravenous anesthetics are commonly used in the perioperative period; however, it is not yet known whether they have an influence on the functions of BM-MSCs and eventually affect the recovery of HIRI.
