Abstract Background Postoperative complication rates after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) remain high despite improvements in perioperative management. Measurements on computed tomography imaging of intra-abdominal tissue have not been thoroughly investigated as predictors of mortality and morbidity following LPD. The aim of this study was to assess whether the ratio of abdominal depth and body mass index (AD/BMI ratio) could predict postoperative complications following LPD. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 231 patients who underwent LPD and had a computed tomography scan between 2014 and 2018. Demographic, radiologic, and pathologic data were correlated to the occurrence of postoperative complications. Propensity score matching was performed to minimize selection biases associated with the comparison of retrospective data between the high and low AD/BMI ratio groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were also performed to assess the risk factors for postoperative complications. Results Of the 102 patients identified for propensity score matching analysis, 29 patients (28.4%) experienced postoperative complications. Patients with a high AD/BMI ratio had a higher prevalence of overall complications (45.1% vs. 11.8%, P
