Core Tip In 182 minimally invasive hepatectomies (MIH), lower preoperative Zinc (Zn) concentration was associated with a higher incidence of postoperative infectious complications. Zn ≥ 80 μg/dL independently protected against infection (adjusted odds ratio = 0.318); infection rates declined stepwise with increasing Zn categories. Because Zn is measurable and modifiable preoperatively, assessment and correction may represent a simple strategy to reduce infections after MIH. Prospective studies are required.
