Retrospective analysis examines how BMI influences complications in gastric cancer surgery, suggesting implications for surgical planning.

This research investigates how body mass index (BMI) affects surgical conditions and complications after robotic gastric cancer surgery.
Retrospective analysis of 60 gastric cancer patients undergoing robotic radical gastrectomy.
Patients categorized into normal BMI (18.5 kg/m² to 25 kg/m²) and high BMI (≥ 25 kg/m²) groups.
Comparison of intraoperative conditions and postoperative complications between the two groups.
No significant differences found in surgical procedures or postoperative recovery metrics between groups.
High BMI group showed increased intraoperative bleeding compared to normal BMI group.
Longer operating time was noted for patients with high BMI.

Xia et al. (2026) studied this question.
