While perioperative care has improved, the role of prehabilitation\u2014defined as structured preoperative physical and nutritional preparation\u2014remains underexplored in pancreatic surgery. This study evaluated the impact of a multimodal prehabilitation program on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective single-center matched-pair analysis was conducted including patients who underwent elective pancreatoduodenectomy after implementation of a structured prehabilitation program (January 2023-October 2024) and a historical control group. Matching criteria were sex, ASA class, and type of procedure. The multimodal home-based prehabilitation program comprised physical exercise, breathing training, and individualized nutritional support. Primary outcomes were postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and recovery parameters. Multivariable logistic regression and propensity score-based inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analyses were performed to adjust for confounding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of 116 eligible patients, 36 completed prehabilitation and were matched to 36 controls. Overall postoperative complications were lower after prehabilitation (44.4% vs. 66.7%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.053), while severe complications (Clavien-Dindo 3\u20134) were significantly reduced (16.7% vs. 38.9%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.042).

IPTW-adjusted analyses confirmed a consistent reduction in postoperative complications (OR 0.425), although statistical significance was not consistently reached. Subgroup analysis of patients\u2009\u2265\u200980\u00a0years demonstrated a significant reduction in complications (25% vs. 100%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.028).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prehabilitation is feasible and associated with improved postoperative outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy, particularly regarding severe complications and length of hospital stay.
