. Reoperation was also associated with higher mortality rates; statistically significant increases were noted for pancreatic resection (33% vs 3.7%; P =.04), esophagogastrectomy (100% vs 4.2%; P =.002), and laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (50% vs 0%; P =.01). Overall, 91 reoperations (85%) were for complications occurring at the original surgical site, including those related to an anastomosis (n = 16), surgical wound (n = 21), infection (n = 16), bleeding (n = 12), and other (n = 26).
