What we should consider to facilitate recovery of the hematological profile in all patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy: the role of preoperative intravenous iron treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), the duodenum and upper jejunum responsible for iron absorption are removed, which can lead to massive hemorrhage during surgery and cause iron deficiency anemia after PD. The aim of this study was to evaluate overall changes in hematologic profiles of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Effect of preoperative intravenous iron treatment on recovery of anemia after surgery was also investigated.

Methods

From March 2021 to December 2021, patients who underwent curative PD at our institution due to periampullary lesions were enrolled. They were divided into two groups according to whether or not iron was administered before surgery. In the IV iron group, all patients had been routinely administered with 1000 mg of ferric ca
