Core Tip Surgical and postoperative complications are believed to be greater for overweight patients with gastric cancer, but this is controversial due to conflicting results from previous studies. This meta-analysis identified 23 studies with a total of 20678 patients, and the results indicate that overweight patients had significantly increased operation times, blood loss, complications, anastomosis leakages, and pancreatic fistulas, whereas lymph node retrieval was decreased significantly in the overweight group. In addition, overweight patients had poorer long-term survival. Therefore, being overweight not only increased the surgical difficulty and complications but also impaired the long-term survival of patients with gastric cancer.
