Retrospective study of predictive factors for postoperative complications of hepatectomies lasting 12 or more hours.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Hepatectomy is used to treat several liver diseases, although perioperative mortality and postoperative complication rates remain high. Given the lack of relevant studies to date, the present study aimed to investigate potential predictive factors for postoperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomies lasting 12 or more hours (termed "extremely long hepatectomies").

Methods

Adult patients undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) after extremely long hepatectomies at Fujita Health University Hospital between 2014 and 2017 were enrolled in the study. Postoperative complications were classified as "major complications" and "non-major complications" according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification grading system. We also divided our study popul
