Core Tip This study highlights the critical impact of visceral obesity on postoperative complications and short-term oncological outcomes in elderly patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. Patients with elevated visceral fat area showed higher risks of infection, anastomotic leakage, inflammatory response, and tumor recurrence. Visceral obesity was also identified as an independent predictor of overall and disease-free survival. These findings underscore the importance of preoperative risk stratification and targeted perioperative interventions for improving outcomes in this high-risk population.
