Short-term and Oncological Outcomes of Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery in Obese Patients

A total of 138 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted or open colectomy for colorectal cancer (CRC) were included in the present study. Subjects commonly shared a condition of overweight or obesity. The investigators aimed to define any difference between the two different groups (open vs laparoscopic-assisted surgery) and a series of outcomes, i.e. hospitalization, Lymph nodes number, Intra-Surgery complications, and Clavien Dindo score.

本研究共纳入138例因结直肠癌（colorectal cancer, CRC）接受腹腔镜辅助或开腹结肠切除术的连续入组患者。入组受试者普遍存在超重或肥胖状况。本研究旨在明确开腹手术与腹腔镜辅助手术两组间的差异，并分析一系列结局指标，包括住院情况、淋巴结检出数目、术中并发症以及克拉维恩-丁多评分（Clavien Dindo score）。
