Abstract
Patients undergoing pancreatectomy for benign disease have a significant risk of developing NAFLD but the frequency is lower than previously reported in cohorts that included individuals with malignant disease. Highest risk was observed in individuals who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy or developed pancreatic atrophy. Further investigations to define the mechanisms that promote steatosis and interventions to prevent subsequent morbidity from NAFLD are warranted.
