Figure 2 Bean plots of operation time under different BMI/VFA cut-offs. (A) Operation time in retroperitoneal approach at different VFA cut-offs. (B) Operation time in retroperitoneal approach at different BMI cut-offs. (C) Operation time in transperitoneal approach at different VFA cut-offs. (D) Operation time in transperitoneal approach at different BMI cut-offs. The P values at the top of each graph represent the Mann-Whitney U test results. Thick bars indicate medians of operation time and thin bars show the frequency of them. VFA – visceral fat area; BMI – body mass index. (R language, version R 4.2.3).
