Impact of Patient Body Mass Index on Post-Operative Recovery from Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy.

ABSTRACT: A longitudinal, descriptive, prospective, and prolective study of individuals with endometrial or cervical cancer/pre-cancer diagnoses and high BMI (over 35 kg/m²) undergoing RH was conducted. Of the 53 participants recruited, 3 (6%) were converted to open surgery. The 50 RH participants had median BMI 42 kg/m² (range 35 to 60): the range 35-39.9 kg/m² had 17 cases; the range 40-44.9 kg/m² had 15 cases; 45-49.9 kg/m² 8 cases; and those ≥50 kg/m² comprised 10 cases. The mean RH operating time was 128.1 min (SD 25.3) and the median length of hospital stay was 2 days (range 1-14 days). Increased BMI was associated with small, but statistically significant, increases in operating time and anaesthetic time, 65 additional seconds
