A newly validated nomogram accurately predicts postoperative recovery outcomes for patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). Analyzing data from 479 patients, it identifies four key predictors: severe COPD, hypertension, elevated INR, and prolonged operative time, achieving a textbook outcome in roughly half the cases. This tool enhances preoperative planning and risk stratification, facilitating better shared decision-making and clinical benchmarking.
