This study assesses how serum albumin and bilirubin levels predict morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy, highlighting potential risks.
Background: Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard surgical approach for treating benign and malignant pancreatic lesions. Preoperative hyperbilirubinemia has been associated with adverse postoperative outcomes; however, the predictive significance of hypoalbuminemia remains unclear. This study aims to assess the impact of preoperative serum albumin and bilirubin levels on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing PD.
