Power of computed-tomography-defined sarcopenia for prediction of morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy

Power of computed-tomography-defined sarcopenia for prediction of morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy

Abstract Background The goal of our study was to evaluate the current approach in prediction of postoperative major complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), especially symptomatic pancreatic fistula (POPF), using parameters derived from computed tomography (CT). Methods Patients after PD we...
