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.
