Impact of obesity on the outcomes after gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A meta-analysis
2022, Asian Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Regarding gastric cancer surgery, the published results have been somewhat contradicting; most studies have reported that obesity is associated with a technically more difficult operation (as reflected by the prolonged operation time, increased intraoperative blood loss, lower number of retrieved lymph nodes) and a higher risk for postoperative complications,13–16 while other studies have demonstrated that the adequacy of lymph node dissection and the complication rate are not influenced by high BMI.17–20 The interpretation of these results becomes more complicated as the majority of studies originating from Asian centers use a BMI value of 25 kg/m2 as a cut-off to classify patients as obese, which is not in accordance with the current World Health Organization (WHO) definition of obesity.21 In an attempt to clarify these issues, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the impact of obesity (defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) on the outcomes after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
