Abstract
Although various factors impact postoperative hyperbilirubinemia, postoperative complications were most significantly associated with postoperative hyperbilirubinemia. The incidence of pneumonia, anastomotic leakage, and any complication tended to be higher in patients with hyperbilirubinemia. The peak postoperative total bilirubin levels were significantly increased in response to each complication. The peak total bilirubin levels were significantly higher among patients with complications than in those without complications, in anastomotic leakage: 2.31 ± 1.57 mg/dL, p = 0.003. Serum bilirubin levels significantly increased in response to postoperative complications after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. In patients with pneumonia and anastomotic leakage, the increase in the serum bilirubin level occurred earlier than the diagnosis of these complications
