    AbstractLittle is known about microcirculatory dysfunction following abdominal surgeries. This study aimed to evaluate changes in microvascular reactivity (MVR) before and after major abdominal surgery, assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy in conjunction with a vascular occlusion test. This prospective observational study included 50 adult patients who underwent hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery lasting ≥ 8 h. MVR was assessed by tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) changes in the plantar region of the foot during 3 min of vascular occlusion and subsequent release under general anesthesia before and after surgery. The primary outcome was alteration in the recovery slope of StO2 (RecStO2) and recovery time (tM) between the preoperative and postoperative values. Postoperative short-term outcome was represented by the Post-operative Morbidity Survey (POMS) score on the morning of postoperative day 2. After surgery, RecStO2 was reduced (0.74% [0.58-1.06]/s vs. 0.89% [0.62-1.41]/s, P = 0.001), and tM was longer (57.0 [42.9-71.0] s vs. 41.3 [35.5-56.5] s, P < 0.001), compared to the preoperative values. Macrohemodynamic variables such as cardiac index, arterial pressure, and stroke volume during postoperative measurement did not differ with or without relative MVR decline. In addition, the POMS score was not associated with postoperative alterations in microcirculatory responsiveness. MVR in the plantar region of the foot was reduced after major hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery regardless of macrocirculatory adequacy. Impaired MVR was not associated with short-term outcomes as long as macrocirculatory indices were well maintained. The impact of relative microcirculatory changes, especially combined with inadequate macrocirculation, on postoperative complications remains to be elucidated.Clinical Trial Registrations UMIN-CTR trial ID: 000033461.© 2021.
