Overview

Post-hoc analysis reveals BMI significantly affects surgical difficulty and complications in rectal cancer.

Key Points

  • Higher body mass index increases surgical difficulty and rates of postoperative complications in rectal cancer.
  • Obese patients experienced longer operative times and higher intraoperative blood loss compared to other BMI groups.
  • While complications differed among BMI categories, overall oncological outcomes like CRM positivity and DFS rates remained similar.
  • These findings highlight the need to consider body mass index during surgical planning and patient discussions.
