Surgical Outcome in Retroperitoneal Sarcoma Surgery: Accuracy of P-POSSUM, ACS-NSQIP, and Inflammatory Biomarkers Prognostic Index (IBPI) Risk-Calculators for Prediction of Severe and Overall Morbidity.

Introduction: Retroperitoneal sarcoma often requires comprehensive resection, leading to severe postoperative morbidity. The lack of disease-procedure specific tools for morbidity risk and the questionable accuracy of existing tools (ACS-NSQIP and P-POSSUM) in RPS surgery drove this study to assess these calculators' accuracy.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of primary RPS cases undergoing surgery at two sarcoma-referral centers was conducted.
