Table 4 Comparison of intraoperative measures between obese and non-obese by VFA/BMI (transperitoneal approach).

Parameter	VFA		p-value	BMI		p-value
Parameter	VFA ≥100 cm2 (n=51)	VFA <100 cm2 (n=37)	p-value	BMI ≥28 kg/m2 (n=22)	BMI <28 kg/m2 (n=66)	p-value
Operation time, median (IQR), min	140.0 (120.0, 165.0)	125.0 (95.0, 150.0)	0.008^*	139.0 (118.0, 160.0)	130.0 (106.8, 155.0)	0.251
EBL, median (IQR), ml	50.0 (30.0, 100.0)	30.0 (20.0, 50.0)	0.004^*	50.0 (20.0, 50.0)	50.0 (20.0, 100.0)	0.980
WIT, median (IQR), min	20.0 (15.0, 24.0)	18.0 (11.5, 20.0)	0.080	20.0 (14.0, 23.5)	19.0 (14.8, 21.3)	0.642
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.
