Robotic rectal cancer surgery: comparative study of the impact of obesity on early outcomes
Menée à partir de données portant sur 533 patients atteints d'un cancer rectal, cette étude analyse l'impact de l'obésité sur les résultats péri-opératoires et oncologiques d'une résection mésorectale assistée par robot
The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) in obese versus non-obese patients. A total of 533 patients, of whom 161 were obese (30·2 per cent) underwent robotic proctectomy during the study interval. Patient obesity was not associated with adverse short-term clinical outcomes after robotic rectal cancer surgery.
