Intraoperative complications during gastrectomy for gastric cancer – incidence, treatment, and effect on postoperative complications and survival in a population-based nationwide study
Intraoperative complications during gastric cancer surgery are common but mainly not life-threatening and can be managed with relatively low sequelae. Major intraoperative complications did not increase the risk of major postoperative complications and were not associated to higher 90-day, or 5-year mortality compared to patients without major intraoperative complications after gastric cancer surgery.
