Obesity Selectively Increases Intraoperative Risk in Left-Sided Colon Cancer Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Obesity was not associated with adverse outcomes following colon cancer surgery overall. However, when stratified by anatomical subsite, obesity was independently associated with increased perioperative risk in left-sided resections. These findings support a more nuanced approach to operative planning and perioperative risk stratification.
