Core Tip	Laparoscopic colorectal surgery for cancer can be safely performed in obese patients without an increase in adverse events or outcomes. Patients should not be precluded from laparoscopy in such cases based on their body mass index. However it is important for the team to assess patients pre-operatively to decide on whether additional or more intensive peri-operative care is needed to ensure optimal outcomes.
