Abstract:Background
The present study investigated the incidence of postoperative pneumonia (POP) after hepatectomy with extrahepatic bile duct resection (BDR) and elucidated risk factors for POP.
Methods
A total of 257 patients undergoing hepatectomy with BDR between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the incidence of POP, defined by the Clavien‐Dindo grade ≥ II. The predictive factors for POP were identified using logistic regression analysis of the pre‐ and intraoperative evaluable factors.
