Core Tip	In the last decades, the number of overweight individuals has increased dramatically in Western countries. No data are available in the literature that show clearly whether this comorbidity has an impact on short-term or long-term outcomes in these patients or on procedure-related costs. Some studies have shown that pancreatectomies in overweight patients are associated with an increased risk of post-operative complications. The data are even more confusing regarding long-term and oncologic outcomes. In our study, based on a large series of consecutive pancreaticoduodenectomies (PD) performed in a high volume center for pancreatic surgery, we showed that body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor for intra-operative bleeding and post-operative pancreatic fistula, but does not increase the overall morbidity and have no impact on survival of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Based on these results, BMI should not be considered, per-se, an exclusion criteria for candidates for PD.
