Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the impact of obesity on short-term outcomes of laparoscopic colorectal surgery in Asian patients, focusing on a sample of 1,705 Japanese individuals with varying body mass indexes (BMI).
- - Findings showed that as BMI increased, the proportion of patients with comorbidities and the median surgical operation time also rose, while the conversion rate to open surgery remained consistent across all groups.
- - Notably, obese II patients had a significantly higher rate of postoperative infectious complications, highlighting the need for careful perioperative management for this group despite advancements in surgical techniques.
