Occurrence of organ space and superficial surgical site infection (SSI) within 90 days postoperatively or at any time during hospitalization.90 days after inclusion
Number of postoperative complications (grade at least 1 according to the Dindo-Clavien classification) within 90 days postoperatively or at any time during hospitalization.90 days after inclusion
Number of postoperative complications (grade at least 3 according to the Dindo-Clavien classification) within 90 days postoperatively or at any time during hospitalization.90 days after inclusion
All-cause mortality (grade 5 according to the Dindo-Clavien classification or a CCI of 100) within 90 days postoperatively or at any time during hospitalization.90 days after inclusion
Occurrence of specific liver related complications (ascites, liver failure, biliary fistula, hemorrhage) within 90 days postoperatively or at any time during hospitalization.90 days after inclusion
Occurrence of abdominal wall complications (abscess, hematoma) within 90 days postoperatively or at any time during hospitalization.90 days after inclusion
Occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (pleural effusion, respiratory insufficiency, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary embolism) within 90 days postoperatively or at any time during hospitalization.90 days after inclusion
Postoperative pain evaluated with a visual analogic scale on postoperative D0, D1, D2, D3, D5, D7 and discharge.day of surgery, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 days after surgery

EVA is visual analogic scale 0 to 10, graduation of 1 0 is no pain ans 10 is maximum pain

Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale (PQRS) on postoperative D7, D30 and D901, 3, 5, 7, 30, 60, 90 days after inclusion

PQRS = Postoperative Suality Recovery Scane self-questionary Min = 20 and Max = 120

Mean surgical margin widths (in millimeters).inclusion
Percentages of microscopically complete (R0), microscoically incomplete (R1) and macroscopically incomplete (R2) resections as stated in the pathological report.inclusion
Percentage of patients recurring within 2 years following liver resection.inclusion

This cut-off value is widely accepted for differentiating recurrence of the resected lesion (\< 2 years postoperatively) from de novo lesion occurring on a background diseased liver parenchyma (\> 2 years).

Overall and disease free survivals.60 month
