This is the first paper which assessed the role of visceral adipose
tissue (VAT) on CRP levels and SSR. After laparoscopic colorectal
resection visceral obese patients present higher SSR compared to normal
patients, independently from post-operative complications. When
monitoring the post-operative course through CRP levels, VAT should be
considered as a risk factors for non-clinically significant higher
values.
