OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a significant risk factor in developing @entity1204 . As @entity28 is becoming more endemic, we wish to evaluate the impact of @entity28 on perioperative outcomes in @entity1 undergoing uterine @entity5 surgery. METHODS: We analyzed our prospective database on @entity1 with @entity1204 who underwent abdominal hysterectomy and pelvic/aortic lymphadenectomy by one gynecologic oncologist. Information regarding race, age, body mass index (BMI), lymph node counts, staging, and estimated @entity190 were analyzed against @entity1 's weight category. Weight category was divided as follows: Normal weight (BMI < 25), overweight (BMI 25 to <30), @entity28 (BMI 30 to <35) and morbid @entity28 (BMI >=  35). RESULTS: Between April 2003 and December 2009, 233 @entity1 were recruited prospectively. This study found no difference in the number of lymph nodes harvested @entity1 (P = 0.0539) or length of hospital stay (P = 0.4234) in @entity1 with a normal BMI versus that of an overweight, @entity28 , or morbidly @entity28 . However, estimated @entity190 (P = 0.01) and operative time (P = 0.0015) were greater as BMI increased. African American @entity1 were more morbidly @entity28 than Caucasian @entity1 . Furthermore, younger @entity1 tend to be more @entity28 across all races. Finally, @entity28 did not affect perioperative @entity532 (P = 0.78). CONCLUSION: Obesity increases surgical @entity190 and operative time. However, @entity28 does not affect length of hospital stay, number of lymph nodes harvested, or perioperative @entity532 in uterine @entity5 staging surgery.
