In recent years, both the actual number of overweight and obese people and their share in the population have been steadily increasing worldwide. Obese patients can no longer be considered as a small group, and they deserve special attention in relation to their surgical treatment. The results of this treatment are often difficult to combine due to differences between surgical interventions, surgical approaches, organ-specific complications, surgical techniques, and classifications of complications. This review aims to provide results on the impact of obesity on the frequency and types of complications after emergency abdominal surgery based on recent publications.
