Effect of sarcopenia on the outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma

Background The relationship between sarcopenia and patient outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC) remains unclear. We assessed the impact of sarcopenia on the outcomes after PD for DCC. Methods We retrospectively analysed 65 patients who underwent PD for DCC.
