Iron deficiency anemia is well known as a risk factor that worsens postoperative morbidity and patient prognosis. Several studies have shown that intravenous iron administration before surgery is effective in reducing the risk of iron deficiency anemia and improving the postoperative prognosis. However, the risk of iron deficiency anemia after surgery is increased due to the resection of the duodenum, the main organ for iron absorption. Very few studies have been conducted on the postoperative effects of higher pancreatoduodenectomy. Observe changes in hematological parameters in patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy due to periampullary tumor and confirm the role of intravenous iron supplementation in optimizing postoperative recovery.
