- Abstract
- Despite advances in surgical techniques, surgical morbidity and mortality remain important public health problems. Postoperative complications often lead to greater morbidity and mortality, as well as increased length of hospital stay and medical costs. Therefore, a reduction in postoperative complications is particularly important with regard to positive long-term outcomes in patients with cancer. To improve patients' postoperative prognosis, it is necessary to screen for and focus on modifiable risk factors and their subsequent resolution. Recently, it was reported that nutritional status, inflammation and surgical approaches are related to postoperative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, in this review article, we describe the current evidence regarding modifiable risk factors influencing surgical morbidity and mortality as well as future directions for improved postoperative management in cancer patients.
