Abstract :
: It is a prospective non randomised comparative study of perioperative complications in Normal BMI patients vs overweight and obese patients undergoing esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma esophagus. Obesity among asian Indians is predominantly abdominal obesity and asian Indians have more fat accumulation for similar BMI when compared to white caucasians. We conclude that though the respiratory complications and anastomotic leaks were more common among overweight and obese patients but did not reach statistical significance. Further prospective randomised studies are needed to determine the risks associated with obesity among asian indian population undergoing major surgery for cancer treatment.
