Laparoscopy for Endometriosis in Obese Patients

Study Overview
=================
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.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

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

Secondary Outcome Measures

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