Core Tip Hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer surgeries are complex procedures that carry a high risk of postoperative morbidity. This meta-analysis of 8 randomised controlled trials found that prehabilitation–focused on preparing patients physically, nutritionally, and mentally before surgery–significantly reduces the overall rate of complications. While no clear differences were seen in readmission, mortality, or length of stay, the data suggest a valuable role for prehabilitation in improving recovery following major abdominal cancer operations. These results highlight its potential for integration into standard preoperative care.
