There may be more chance of post-operative complications for the patients who had pancreatic surgery because of obesity.
Adam Berger, M.D., assistant professor of surgery at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University said , “A study of 202 pancreatic surgeries from 2000 to 2005 indicates obese patients had an increased time on the operating table, blood loss, length of hospital stay and rate of serious complications compared to normal weight individuals.”
The increasing Body Mass Index (BMI) is going to be the biggest problem for the health care professional’s .
The higher BMI can cause more risk of diabetes and heart disease, as well as esophageal and pancreatic cancers.
In a study it is found that the rate of serious complications in obese, normal and overweight patients is 27, 18 and 15 percent respectively.
