Short and Long-Term Outcomes After Surgical Procedures Lasting for More Than Six Hours

Abstract Long-term all-cause mortality and dependency after complex surgical procedures have not been assessed in the framework of value-based medicine. The aim of this study was to investigate the postoperative and long-term outcomes after surgical procedures lasting for more than six hours. Retros...
