This is because every surgery is stress and it impairs your immunity temporarily . If effects your ability to fight infections.  So you should do surgery only if you are 100 % sure that you have not suffered any viral illness in past 2 weeks. Elevations of cortisol, glucagon, catecholamines, and a host of inflammatory cytokines, also exacerbate the stress response to surgery.
    Afferent nerve signals from the injured site and proinflammatory cytokines have the net effect of increasing the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland. Increased secretion of the anterior pituitary hormones corticotrophin (ACTH) and growth hormone (GH) have particularly significant metabolic consequences.
