Impact of sarcopenia on short- and long-term outcomes following major hepatectomy for malignancy

However, preoperative sarcopenia does not significantly affect short-term or long-term mortality. Routine assessment of muscle mass should be considered in preoperative evaluations to identify vulnerable patients and tailor perioperative management strategies.
