OBJECTIVE: Visceral obesity (VO) is a risk factor for developing postoperative complications in patients undergoing abdominal oncological surgery. However, in ovarian cancer patients this influence of body composition on postoperative morbidity is not well established. The aim of this study is to assess the association between body composition and complications in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery. METHODS: Patients with FIGO stage 3 or 4 ovarian cancer between 2006 and 2017 were included. Visceral fat area, total skeletal mass and total fat area were measured on a single slice on the level of L3-L4 of the preoperative CT-scan. VO was defined as visceral fat ≥100cm2. The perioperative data were extracted retrospectively. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to test the predictive value of multiple variables such as body composition, albumin levels and preoperative morbidity. RESULTS: 298 consecutive patients out of nine referring hospitals were included. VO patients were more likely to be hypertensive (38% vs 17% p < 0.001), and to have an ASA 3 score (21% vs 10% P = 0.012). Complications occurred more often in VO patients (43% vs 21% P < 0.001). Thrombotic events were found in 4.9% of VO patients versus 0.6% of the non-visceral obese patients (p = 0.019). VO(OR: 4.37, p < 0.001), hypertension (OR:1.9, p = 0.046) and duration of surgery (OR: 1.004, p = 0.017) were predictors of post-surgical complications. Muscle mass is not a predictor of complications. CONCLUSION: Visceral obesity is associated with a higher occurrence of complications in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery.
