Multivariate Analysis of Risk Factors for Pulmonary Complications After Hepatic Resection

Abstract: The correction of modifiable risk factors among the identified factors could reduce the incidence of PPCs and, as a consequence, improve patient outcomes and reduce the length of hospital stays.

“…In our series 19 (9%) glissonian resections and 16 (7.5%) parenchymal liver resections were performed and hepatic surgery was an independent predictor of overall (G1-G4) complications but only two patients suffered a severe anemization after multiple liver resections. Furthermore, in accordance with literature [22], our data suggest an independent correlation between hepatic surgery and pleural effusion (OR: 2; CI-95: 1.08-3.79;p = 0.026). Reactive pleural effusion is the result of diaphragmatic injury, obstruction of thoracic venous or lymphatic systems, or surgical manipulation on the hepatic coronary ligament (usually causing a subphrenic fluid collection).…”

“…Blood transfusion and obesity are known risk factors for the development of postoperative complications in general surgery as well as in gastric surgery [18][19][20][21]. Our study confirmed this, and further revealed that previous operation-related factors such as anastomosis type and the indication for initial gastrectomy have no impact on the risk of developing complications.…”

“…However, the subsequent morbidity and mortality rates remained acceptable, and the overall rate of major medical morbidity was high with a large prevalence of pulmonary complications. Clearly, the challenge remains in the length and complexity of the operation, the type of extended incision required, the high rate of intraoperative transfusions and the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy [20]. Even if one reasonably considers the observed postoperative morbidity and mortality in the present cohort of patients in view of the extent of surgery, it clearly exceeds that reported by us and others for standard pancreatectomies [21,22,23].…”
