The 30-day overall morbidity rate was 36.6% (29.7% for minimally invasive surgeries and 38.4% for open surgeries), with serious morbidity at 20.1%. Based on the continuous (Youden Index) and binary (area under the curve) exploration of optimal operative time cutoff, the following operative time categories were created: <5, 5 to 6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and ≥8 hours. Multivariable analysis revealed increased risk of morbidity for operative durations >6 hours (OR 1.48; 95% CI, 1.13-1.96; p = 0.004), which rose with rising operative times. Minimally invasive cases had an increased risk of morbidity starting at ≥8 hours, whereas open resections demonstrated increased risk starting at 6 hours.
