Identification of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease following pancreatectomy for noninvasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) following pancreatectomy is a potential cause of long term morbidity in patients undergoing pancreatic resection with curative intent. Prior studies have reported an incidence of NAFLD up to 30% following pancreatectomy but the investigated cohorts were typically a mix of benign and malignant disease. Here we examined the incidence of NAFLD in a homogenous cohort of patients following pancreatectomy for benign intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN).

Methods

A retrospective review of patients who underwent pancreatic resection for IPMN from 2000 to 2016 was performed. Post pancreatectomy CT/MRI scans were obtained as standard surveillance. We investigated changes in the liver parenchymal density on post surgical imag
