Long-Term Survival Impact of High-Grade Complications after Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Retrospective Single-Centre Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Although complications after liver resection for hepatic cancer are common, the long-term impact of these complications on oncological outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the potential effect of high-grade postoperative complications on long-term mortality and cancer recurrence after surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma. Materials and Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, patients undergoing curative liver resection for primary hepatocellular carcinoma between 2005 and 2016 were evaluated. The Clavien-Dindo (CD) grading system was used to classify patients into two groups of either high-grade complications (grade III or IV) or none or low-grade complications (grade 0 to II) within 30 days after surgery. The primary endpoint was
