Minor and major complications occurred in 74\u00b73 per cent, with 44\u00b70 per cent of all patients having more than one complication. Reoperation was necessary in 29\u00b74 per cent. The 30-day mortality rate was 1\u00b78 per cent, and the in-hospital mortality rate 2\u00b78 per cent. The complete R0 resection rate was 72\u00b75 per cent. Median overall survival was 34\u00b73 months; 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 83\u00b78, 47\u00b70 and 47\u00b70 per cent respectively.
