Core Tip	Atrophy of muscles adversely affects surgical treatment and prognosis for patients. As a result, sarcopenia has been receiving increasing attention. The occurrence of sarcopenia associated with hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgical diseases is influenced by various factors. Obstructive jaundice is a common symptom in patients with these diseases; however, few studies have investigated its effects on muscle function. Therefore, this study analyzed obstructive jaundice-related sarcopenia from different perspectives, aiming to provide theoretical support for understanding this condition.
