  Background and purpose: Surgical trauma often leads to capillary leaks and inflammatory responses, which in turn cause a decrease in albumin levels. Hypoalbuminemia in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery can prolong treatment, increase the risk of complications, and elevate mortality rates. This study aims to explore the correlation between perioperative serum albumin levels and the occurrence of complications in major abdominal surgeries, particularly in the context of drug and alcohol usage.
