Abstract
Obesity is becoming a challenging health problem worldwide and in the United States, where national estimates indicate that 35.5 % of the adult population is obese. Hysterectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the United States. More than half of the hysterectomy procedures in the United States are performed through laparotomy incisions. It is expected that this proportion is even higher in developing countries. Multiple research studies have shown an increased risk of perioperative morbidity for obese patient undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. If minimally invasive approach is not feasible for whatever reason, appropriate perioperative care should be employed to improve outcomes for obese women undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.
