(2) Overweight or obesity according to the Korean Society for the Study of Obesity criteria: body mass index (BMI) = 23 kg/m². (3) Age = 20 years. (4) Patients with uterine diseases associated with overweight, such as endometriosis, premalignant endometrial lesions, or adenomyosis. (5) Patients in whom surgical treatment by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has been decided for the conditions described in (4). (6) Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery involving the uterus and/or extrauterine adnexal structures. (7) Patients using highly effective contraception: the contraceptive methods specified in Exclusion Criteria 2(3)? must be used.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) Patients with unstable vital signs. (2) Pregnant or breastfeeding women. (3) Women with childbearing potential: premenopausal women must be instructed to adhere to contraception during the surgical preparation period (2 months prior to surgery). Acceptable contraceptive methods include oral contraceptives, implantable contraceptive devices, or male barrier methods. ? Definition of women of childbearing potential: women with menstrual cycles including ovulation. ? Contraception period: contraception must be maintained for 8 weeks (2 months) from the time surgery is decided until surgery is performed, as part of routine preparation for general anesthesia. Contraceptive methods listed in ? will be explained during outpatient visits. ? Contraceptive methods: in addition to natural cycle methods, oral contraceptives, implantable contraceptive devices, and secondary barrier methods (male contraceptive devices) are recommended. ? Pregnancy status will be confirmed by urine hCG testing as part of routine preoperative evaluation. Surgery will be cancelled if pregnancy is confirmed. ? If future pregnancy is planned, contraception must be maintained for 8 weeks after discontinuation of Wegovy. (4) Patients at high anesthetic risk (see item (5)) for whom laparoscopic surgery is not appropriate. (5) Patients at high risk of pulmonary aspiration, including those with diabetes mellitus, gastro-oesophageal reflux, renal failure, oesophageal strictures, achalasia, enteropathies, or a history of gastrointestinal tumors. (6) Patients taking medications that may affect gastrointestinal motility (7) Patients with contraindications to or allergy to the investigational drug Wegovy (semaglutide): (8) Emergency surgery. (9) Patients who do not consent to participate in the study.
