Across general abdominal surgical procedures among obese patients, laparoscopic surgery appears to reduce the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) by 70% to 80%, when compared with open surgery. A meta-analysis of 44 studies found an odds ratio of 0.19 for SSIs after laparoscopic surgery when compared with open surgeries.
