Figure 3 Bean plots of EBL under different BMI/VFA cut-offs. (A) EBL in retroperitoneal approach at different VFA cut-offs. (B) EBL in retroperitoneal approach at different BMI cut-offs. (C) EBL in transperitoneal approach at different VFA cut-offs. (D) EBL 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; EBL – estimated blood loss. (R language, version R 4.2.3).
