“…Lymph node yield could be considered as a quantitative method of evaluation of the efficacy of panniculectomy on an improvement in the vision of the surgical field during surgical management of EC. In that setting, a potential increase in the count of resected lymph nodes could indicate the superiority of panniculectomy combined surgery for EC (20). Based on the findings of the present staudy, concerning pelvic lymph node yield, according to Eisenhauer et al the resected lymph node count was significantly increased in patients who also had panniculectomy compared to those who underwent simple laparotomy (25).…”

“…Some authors suggested an extended antibiotic prophylaxis until the removal of drains; however, studies addressing such practice showed contradictory results. 26,27 It is important to counsel patients about the association between high BMI, smoking cessation, and postoperative complications, as both obesity and smoking are modifiable risk factors before panniculectomy. 28 Our study has some limitations, including its retrospective nature, which can introduce selection bias.…”
