In general, visceral fat and adhesion greatly influence the technical difficulty in performing abdominal surgery. Body mass index (BMI) has been widely used to express the degree of obesity, but it does not always properly reflect the degree of visceral fat. This retrospective study investigated the impact of visceral fat on the operation time to examine whether a quantified visceral fat area (VFA) could be used as a sensitive predictor of technical difficulty in performing a laparoscopic resection of rectosigmoid carcinoma.
