Abstract
An estimated 310 million patients undergo surgery worldwide each year.1 The International Surgical Outcomes Study reported that, globally, 26.8% of patients who underwent major surgery had postoperative complications, and 24.3% of those who underwent low abdominal surgery developed complications.2 These findings are similar to those of a previous study.3 Postoperative complications after major surgery have been shown to increase the length of stay (LOS), cost, and mortality.4-6 Moreover, the presence of postoperative complications after colorectal surgery was associated with decreased long-term survival, independent of patient, disease, and treatment factors.3Keywords
