Brief summary

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

Detailed description

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.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Operative time	Intraoperative: from the skin incision to the skin suture	Comparison of operative time, expressed in minutes, between Group A and Group B

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Laparotomic conversion rate	Intraoperative	Comparison of laparotomic conversion rate between Group A and Group B
Hospital length of stay	Postoperative: from surgery to hospitalization discharge, assessed up to 30 days after surgery.	Comparison of hospital length of stay, expressed in days, between Group A and Group B
Intraoperative complication rate	Intraoperative	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)
Postoperative complication rate	Postoperative: from surgery to hospitalization discharge, assessed up to 30 days after surgery.	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)
