Obesity, especially extreme obesity, not only can be a contraindication for certain urologic surgeries, but it also can make operations more technically challenging.
Studies have shown that surgeries can take longer on obese patients than on non-obese patients. National surveys suggest that the prevalence of obesity is on the rise. Urologists are likely to have more and more very obese patients in their surgical caseload.
Renal & Urology News would like to know urologists’ opinion about operating on very obese patients, so please take a few moments to answer the following poll question.
