Postoperative Visceral Tissue Edema Assessed by Computed Tomography Is a Predictor for Severe Complications After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

In pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), the adverse impact of tissue edema owing to intraoperative fluid overload remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate how visceral tissue edema due to fluid overload affects severe postoperative complications after PD. It aims to clarify the usefulness of assessment by computed tomography (CT) of postoperative tissue edema. We classified 200 patients who underwent PD as either liberal fluid management (LFM) group...
