Core Tip Postoperative weight loss and reduced oral intake are common problems after distal pancreatectomy and may adversely affect postoperative recovery and tolerance to adjuvant therapy. Rikkunshito (RT), a traditional Japanese herbal medicine, is reported to improve appetite and gastrointestinal motility. In this retrospective study, patients who received RT after distal pancreatectomy showed significantly improved oral intake on postoperative day 7 and less body weight loss 1 month postoperatively compared with those who did not receive RT. In the absence of established strategies for early postoperative nutritional support after distal pancreatectomy, these findings provide clinically relevant evidence for a simple and feasible intervention.
