However high levels of stress for more than a few hours can be exhausting the adrenal glands are so susceptible to getting sick," said Dr. Teitelbaum.

Surgery can obviously lead to stress. But the short-term stress caused by surgery can be beneficial because it helps the body to recover more quickly.

Researchers tested this hypothesis by collecting a series of blood samples from 57 of the patients before and after undergoing knee surgery. As a result, the patient's immune system responds to stress by mobilizing and redistribute large amounts of pathogen-fighting cells for the body to recover faster.
