Visceral Obesity Predicts Surgical Outcomes after Laparoscopic Colectomy for Sigmoid Colon Cancer
Abstract
PURPOSE: This study was designed to assess whether visceral obesity is a more useful predictor of surgical outcomes compared with body mass index after laparoscopic colectomy. METHODS: A total of 133 consecutive patients who underwent elective laparoscopic colectomy for sigmoid colon cancer between April 2001 and April 2007 were included. Obesity was defined by visceral fat area > or = 130 cm(2) or body mass index > or = 25 kg/m(2), and the variables were compared for obese and nonobese patients. RESULTS: There were 68 (51.1 percent) obese patients according to visceral fat area and 27 (20.3 percent) according to body mass index. Using either definition, obese patients had a significantly longer operative time compared with nonobese patients. Patients classified as obese by visceral fat area had a significantly higher incidence of wound infection (20.6 vs. 4.6 percent; P = 0.006) and overall complication rates (32.4 vs. 12.3 percent, P = 0.006) compared with nonobese patients, whereas there was no significant difference when classified by body mass index. Postoperative hospital stay was significantly longer in obese patients compared with nonobese patients classified by visceral fat area (median 10.5 vs. 9 days; P = 0.007), whereas it was not statistically different when classified by body mass index. CONCLUSION: Visceral fat area is a more useful parameter than body mass index in predicting surgical outcomes after laparoscopic colectomy for sigmoid colon cancer.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
