    The study evaluates wound complications after ALPPS compared to repeated liver resections and single liver resections.

  • 2

    Impaired liver function and repeated surgeries are significant risk factors for postoperative complications in liver resections.

  • 3

    Wound complications include surgical site infections, fascial dehiscence, and incisional hernias, common after major liver surgeries.

  • 4

    The study analyzed data from 40 patients undergoing ALPPS and matched them with 40 patients each from RLR and SLR groups.

  • 5

    Statistical analyses included propensity score matching and logistic regression to assess risk factors for surgical wound complications.
