Morbidity and mortality after liver resection Running title: Morbidity and mortality after liver resection

Postoperative morbidity and mortality after liver resection. Retrospective study on 133 patients.

INTRODUCTION Hepatic resection had an impressive growth over time, both by broadening the range of its indications and the occurrence of changes and technical tricks in order to reduce postoperative mortality and morbidity. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study is a retrospective study presenting an analysis of 133 patients hospitalized in the Department of Hepatic Surgery in City Hospital Timisoar...

Early post-operative prediction of morbidity and mortality after a major liver resection for colorectal metastases.

BACKGROUND An early prediction of poor outcomes is essential in the management of patients after a liver resection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of selected biochemical parameters on post-operative day 1 (POD 1) in the prediction of morbidity and mortality after a liver resection for colorectal metastases. METHOD This retrospective study was based on 236 major liver resectio...

Morbidity and mortality after bowel resection for acute mesenteric ischemia.

BACKGROUND Patients presenting with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) sufficiently advanced to require bowel resection have a high morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to analyze these patients to determine if certain pre- or intraoperative variables are predictive of death or complications which could then be used to develop a predictive model to aid in surgical decision-maki...

Preoperative anemia increases mortality and postoperative morbidity after cardiac surgery

BACKGROUND Anemia is an established adverse risk factor in cardiovascular disease. However, the effect of preoperative anemia is not well defined in heart surgery. This study evaluates the effect of preoperative anemia on early clinical outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS A retrospective, observational, cohort study of prospectively collected data was undertaken on 7,738 ...
