Laparoscopy for Endometriosis in Obese Patients

IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna1,230 enrolled

Overview

Evaluation of surgical outcomes of endometriosis laparoscopic surgery in obese patients.

Obesity may influence surgical variables such as operative time, laparotomic conversion rate and intraoperative and postoperative complication rate. Moreover, it might influence the hospital length of stay. For that reason, the study aims to compare a group of obese patients with a non-obese group of patients about these topics.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Operative time

Comparison of operative time, expressed in minutes, between Group A and Group B

Time frame: Intraoperative: from the skin incision to the skin suture

Secondary Outcomes

Laparotomic conversion rate

Comparison of laparotomic conversion rate between Group A and Group B

Time frame: Intraoperative

Hospital length of stay

Comparison of hospital length of stay, expressed in days, between Group A and Group B

Time frame: Postoperative: from surgery to hospitalization discharge, assessed up to 30 days after surgery.

Intraoperative complication rate

Comparison of intraoperative complication rate between Group A and Group B. Intraoperative complication rate is assessed using Clavien-Dindo Classification (from grade I to V, where I means any deviation from the normal postoperative course without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical, endoscopic, and radiological interventions, and V means the death of a patient)

Time frame: Intraoperative

Postoperative complication rate

Comparison of postoperative complication rate between Group A and Group B. Postoperative complication rate is assessed using Clavien-Dindo Classification (from grade I to V, where I means any deviation from the normal postoperative course without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical, endoscopic, and radiological interventions, and V means the death of a patient)

Time frame: Postoperative: from surgery to hospitalization discharge, assessed up to 30 days after surgery.
