Intraoperative Bacterial Translocation Detected by Bacterium-Specific Ribosomal RNA-Targeted Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Mesenteric Lymph Node Strongly Predicts Postoperative Infectious Complications After Major Hepatectomy for Biliary Malignancies

Abstract excerpt

In Brief Background: There is little evidence indicating a causal linkage between bacterial translocation and postoperative infectious complication (POIC) in human studies. Objective: To investigate the correlation between the occurrence of bacterial translocation in the mesenteric lymph node (MLN) and POIC with a sensitive quantitative method using bacterium-specific ribosomal RNA (rRNA)-targeted reverse...
