Table 3 Comparison of intraoperative measures between obese and non-obese by VFA/BMI (retroperitoneal approach).

Parameter	VFA		p-value	BMI		p-value
Parameter	VFA ≥100 cm2 (n=70)	VFA <100 cm2 (n=55)	p-value	BMI ≥28 kg/m2 (n=31)	BMI <28 kg/m2 (n=94)	p-value
Operation time, median (IQR), min	140.0 (119.8, 160.0)	115.0 (90.0, 130.0)	<0.001^*	142.0 (125.0, 160.0)	121.5 (100.0, 140.0)	0.004^*
EBL, median (IQR), ml	50.0 (20.0, 50.0)	20.0 (20.0, 30.0)	0.003^*	50.0 (20.0, 100.0)	20.0 (20.0, 50.0)	0.001^*
WIT, median (IQR), min	20.0 (15.0, 23.3)	17.0 (14.0, 23.0)	0.431	18.0 (14.0, 24.0)	19.5 (15.0, 23.0)	0.868
Data are presented as median (lower quartile, upper quartile). ^* IQR – interquartile range; VFA – visceral fat area; BMI – body mass index; EBL – estimated blood loss; WIT – warm ischemic time.
