Abstract:
Although the safety of pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD)with hyperbilirubinemia has been reported, the permissible value of preoperative serum bilirubin is unknown. A 58-year-old man developed obstructive jaundice due to duodenal adenocarcino- ma. The initial serum bilirubin value was 26.8mg/dL, and preoperative biliary drainage was performed. However, the serum bilirubin value only decreased to 17.7mg/dL. The other liver function tests were normal. Therefore, we decided to perform PD despite persistent severe hyperbilirubinemia. The postoperative course was uneventful and the bilirubin value improved. He was discharged 17 days after the operation. In the present case, we safely performed PD despite severe jaundice after adequate preoperative liver function evaluation. The attempt to reduce the bilirubin value before surgery did not appear to affect the postoperative course.
