In contrast, patients with upper abdominal malignant disease often experience delayed recovery and long-standing functional impairment. Postoperative complications ...

    • Risk factors, complications and survival after upper abdominal surgery: A prospective cohort study 

      Aahlin, Eirik Kjus; Tranø, Geir; Johns, Neil; Horn, Arild; Søreide, Jon Arne; Fearon, Kenneth Christopher H.; Revhaug, Arthur; Lassen, Kristoffer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-07)

More recently, a correlation between postoperative complications and reduced long-term survival has been reported and the significance of the relative proportion of skeletal muscle, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue has been examined with conflicting results. We ...
