Postoperative hypophosphatemia affects a significant 77.9% of pancreaticoduodenectomy patients, correlating with a 66.3% complication rate. The lowest phosphate levels occur on day three post-surgery, linking diminished phosphate to complications like pancreaticojejunostomy leakage. Those with complications show hypophosphatemia at a striking 82.5%. Monitoring and managing phosphate levels could mitigate risks and enhance recovery outcomes.
