Simple radiologic assessment of visceral obesity and prediction of surgical morbidity in endometrial cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic aortic lymphadenectomy: A reliability and accuracy study
Abstract:Aim
To evaluate the reliability of sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD)—a surrogate of visceral obesity—in magnetic resonance imaging, and its accuracy to predict the surgical morbidity of aortic lymphadenectomy.
Methods
We conducted a multicenter reliability (phase 1) and accuracy (phase 2) cohort study in three Spanish referral hospitals. We retrospectively analyzed data from the STELLA‐2 randomized controlled trial that included high‐risk endometrial cancer patients undergoing minimally invasive surgical stagi… Show more
