Abstract
The meta-analysis sought to evaluate and compare the effect of obesity on surgical site wound problems in subjects after primary ovarian cancer surgery. The results found by this meta-analysis were analyzed, and then odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD), at 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were calculated. These models might be dichotomous or contentious, random, or fixed effect models. The current meta-analysis included nine exams from 2009 to 2023, including 4362 females with primary ovarian cancer surgeries. Obesity had a significantly higher risk of surgical site wound infections (OR, 2.90; 95% CI, 2.27-3.69, p < 0.001), and wound problems (OR, 4.14; 95% CI, 1.83-9.34, p < 0.001) compared to non-obesity in females with primary ovarian cancer surgeries. It was revealed, by examining the data, that obesity was associated with significantly higher incidence of surgical site wound infections, and wound problems compared to non-obesity in females with primary ovarian cancer surgeries. However, attention should be given to the values because some of the comparisons included a small number of chosen studies,.
