[Analysis of morbidity risk in patients after liver resection].

The authors present the retrospective analysis of the morbidity risk in patients undergoing hepatic resection for various indications. The most important complications, according to the literature, were: postoperative liver failure, massive pleural effusion, ascites resistant to pharmacological treatment, intraperitoneal hemorrhage or septic complications requiring relaparotomy. There was the correlation between the increased morbidity and preoperative risk factors like: diabetes mellitus, liver insufficiency with coagulopathy, and intraoperative blood loss, requiring massive transfusions.
