These complications may range from mild to moderate disease, such as diarrhea or nausea, to more severe, life-threatening ones, such as colon perforation, digestive bleeding, or others. They can be related to medications, infections, or exacerbations of preexistent pathology. Risk factors include previous operation, steroid therapy, prolonged portal venous cross-clamp time, poor nutritional status, and iatrogenic injury.
