Summary

This study looked at how paracetamol (Tylenol) is processed in the body after major liver surgery. Researchers measured paracetamol levels in the blood over five days in 90 patients who had different amounts of liver removed. The goal was to see if patients with less liver tissue are at higher risk of paracetamol toxicity, helping guide safer pain management after surgery.
