Department of Surgery, Dong-A University College of Medicine, Busan, Korea Purpose: Obese patients are generally believed to be at increased risk for surgery compared to those who are not obese. It was the purpose of this study to compare the short-term outcomes of a laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) in obese and non-obese patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 79 patients who had undergone a laparoscopic LAR for rectal cancer between September 2002 and January The degree of obesity was based on the Body Mass Index (BMI, kg/m 2 ). We divided the 79 patients into two groups: the high BMI (BMI 25) and the low BMI (BMI <25) groups. The parameters analyzed included age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification score, operative time, estimated blood loss, conversion rate, postoperative complications, hospital stay, and oncologic characteristics. Statistics included the t-test and Fisher s exact test. Statistical significance was assessed at the 5% level (P<0.05 being statistically significant). Results: There were no significant differences between the low BMI (n=55) and the high BMI (n=24) groups in age and gender. The high BMI group had significantly more conversion to an open procedure (20.8% vs. 3.6%, P=0.0244). The high BMI group and the low BMI group had no differences in blood loss, complications, hospital stay, and oncologic characteristics, but the high BMI group had a longer operative time (244.2 min vs min, P=0.0035). Conclusion: A laparoscopic LAR in obese patients had a higher conversion rate and a longer operative time, but there were no differences in postoperative complications and oncologic characteristics. A further study based on many experiences is needed to clarify the influence of the surgeon s experience on the operative time and the conversion rate, and long-term follow-up is necessary to evaluate the oncologic safety of a laparoscopic LAR in obese patients.

High BMI 군에서개복으로전환하게된원인으로는큰종양및상대적으로좁은골반강 (3예), 간경화가있는환자에서전천골출혈 (1예), 그리고불충분한원위부절제연 (1예) 들이있었다. Low BMI 군에서는선형봉합기의오작동과전천골출혈로개복술로전환을하였다. 복부수술기왕력이없는환자만을대상으로한개복전환율비교에서도 high BMI 군 (n=19) 에서 21.0% (4/19) 로 low BMI 군 (n=46) 의 4.3% (2/46) 보다통계적으로유의하게빈발한것으로나타났다 (P=0.0101; Table 1). High BMI 군 (n=24) 과 low BMI 군 (n=55) 간의수술단기성적에관한비교분석에서출혈량은 high BMI 군에서 95.0 ml, low BMI 군에서 ml로 low BMI 군에서약간많았으나통계학적차이는보이지않았다 (Table 2). 평균수술시간은 low BMI 군 (n=55) 이 212.0분인데반해 high BMI 군 (n=24) 이 244.2분으로비만군에서수술시간이유의하게긴것으로조사되었다 (P=0.0035; Table 2). 그리고, 전체환자중복부수술기왕력이없는환자만을대상으로하여수술시간을비교한결과에서도 low BMI 군 (n=46) 이평균 212.9분, Table 1.

4 우진희외 : 비만이복강경하저위전방절제술에미치는영향 이상을과체중, 25 이상을비만으로정의하였다. 19 최근우리나라환자의비만은서양에비해아직그정도가심하지않지만식생활습관및환경요인으로인하여점차심각해지고있고, 이에따라비만환자에서복강경저위전방절제술의시행빈도가점점증가할것으로판단된다. 복강경하저위전방절제술의경우비만한환자는두꺼운직장간막과상대적으로좁은골반강으로수술시야가좁게되고이에따른수술기구의조작이용이하지않기때문에수술과정의어려움으로합병증, 수술시간, 출혈량등의단기성적요소들이비만하지않은환자에서보다나쁠가능성이있음을예상할수있다. Leroy 등 20 은복강경하대장절제술을시행한환자에있어서 BMI 30을기준으로후향적으로연구하였으며, 비만군과대조군에서평균수술시간에차이가없는것으로보고하였다. Schwandner 등 21 과 Pikarsky 등 22 도마찬가지로수술시간에있어서는비만군과대조군에서유의한차이가없었다고하였다. 그러나본연구에서는비만환자군에서평균수술시간이긴것으로나타났다. 종양뿐아니라양성대장질환을포함해서복강경수술과비만과의영향을비교조사한위보고들과는달리본연구에서는종양환자만을대상으로단일수술법에있어비만의영향을조사하였기때문에수술시간에대한결과를이전의논문들과단순비교하기에는무리가있을것으로판단된다. Senagore 등 23 은본연구처럼비만군에있어서평균수술시간이더긴것으로보고하였고, Dostalik 등 24 은통계적으로유의하지는않지만평균수술시간이비만환자군에서더긴것으로보고하였다. 각각의논문에서수술시간에대한서로상이한결과가도출되었고, 수술자의숙련도에따라수술시간이달라질수있는가능성을고려해볼수있는데수술자의경험에대한명확한언급이없어본연구의결과와단순한비교가곤란할것으로보이므로, 비만으로인한수술시간의연장여부에대한더정확한평가가필요할것으로생각된다. Feliciotti 등 25 은복강경하대장절제술에서개복전환의이유가비만이나염증성유착으로인한해부학적구조의확인이어려운경우라고보고하고있는데, 다른많은논문에서도비만환자군에서복강경하대장절제술을시행할경우개복전환율이더높은것으로보고하고있다. 26,27 본연구결과에서도대조군의개복전환율 (3.6%) 에비해비만군의개복전환율 (20.8%) 이현저히높은것으로조사되었는데, 비만한환자에게서골반강이좁아수술시야확보가어렵거나수술기구의원활한활동반경이제한되어수술진행이곤란하였기때 문인것으로생각된다. 본연구에서는양군에서합병증발생률이통계학적유의한차이를보이지않았으며 Tuech 등 28 과 Delaney 등 29 도합병증발생률에있어차이가없는것으로나타났다. 반면 Pikarsky 22 는비만군에서수술후장마비소견이 32.2%, 대조군에서 7.6% 로발생하는것으로보고하였고, 병원재원일수에서도비만군에서 9.5일로대조군 6.9일로유의하게긴것으로보고하면서, 장마비가비만군의재원일수를증가시키는중요한원인으로보았다. 또한창상감염도비만군에서 12.9%, 대조군에서 3.1% 로발생하는것으로보고하였다. 복강경수술이아닌통상의개복술에서도비만환자군에서창상감염발생률이높은것으로인식되고있는것과유사한결과를보여주었다. 창상감염이비만군에서빈발하는이유는비만자체의위험요소뿐아니라, 비만환자에서동반가능한대사적, 내분비적및심혈관계문제등에기인한것으로생각된다. 21 또한, Senagore 등 23 도비만군에서더높은합병증발생률 (22% vs. 13%) 을보고하였는데, 특히문합부누출이비만군에서 5.1% 로대조군의 1.2% 보다더높은것으로나타났다. 본연구에서는종양학적안전성의척도로절제연과적출된림프절의수는양군간에유의한차이를보이지않았고안전한범위로확인되었다. 그러나, 직장암의또다른종양학적주요요소인환상절제연과정확한근막박리여부에대한검체분석이대상군들의대부분에서시행되지않았기때문에종양학적안전성을결론지을수없을것으로판단된다. 또한, 연구대상군이작고, 후향적인연구라는제한점을가지기때문에복강경하저위전방절제술에있어비만의영향을결론적으로언급하기는한계가있다. 본연구는전체대상군이 79예에불과하고, 두명의수술자의경험이라는점을감안하면각수술자의경험이풍부하지않은단계의결과로, 숙련된수술자의입장이아닌경우비만환자에서의복강경하저위전방절제술은개복전환의가능성이높고수술시간이많이소요될수있다는것을확인할수있었다. 다양하고많은복강경대장수술의경험이축적된수술자가아닌초심자의경우는복막반전부하방박리경험이많지않고기술적노하우축적이부족할수밖에없다. 더구나비만환자의경우라면적절한시야확보기술이나경험부족으로초심자의경우종양학적으로매우중요한직장간막절제술시의정확한근막박리연확보가어려울수있고, 이에따라수술진행이매끄럽지않게됨으로불필요한수술시간의연장이발생하고, 종양학적불확실성이나술기상의한계점으로개복전환이빈발할수있을것으로생각된다.
