We report the case of a morbidly obese 49-year-old female found to have a 16×14×10 cm high grade myxoid liposarcoma of the thigh initially diagnosed as a hematoma. Recent initiation of rivaroxaban for a coincident ipsilateral popliteal vein thrombosis placed hematoma high in the differential
Hematoma formation after peripheral nerve block placement is a rare event. We report a case of a morbidly obese patient who was anticoagulated with apixaban and developed a massive thigh hematoma after an ultrasound-guided adductor canal block. Despite continuous visualization of the block needle,
BACKGROUND
Kidney transplantation is the most suitable of ESRD care. The proportion of obese people is increasing in the general population and patients with kidney impairment. It is important to assess the impact of obesity on surgical complications of kidney transplantation. The aim of this
The incidence of obesity is on the rise worldwide. Many surgeons elect not to perform abdominoplasty on patients with a high body mass index, fearing an increased risk of perioperative complications. In this study, the authors compare the outcomes of obese and nonobese patients who OBJECTIVE Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common type of intracranial hemorrhage in elderly patients. Many studies have suggested various factors that may be associated with the recurrence of CSDH. However, the results are inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to determine the
A series of 1,000 patients has been studied. I. HEMATOMAE: They are nearly continuous during internal saphena stripping but depend on various parameters. 1) Anatomical: a) Varicose veins topography. Perforating veins. Perforating veins of the thigh cause haemorrhage but reactions of venous
Violent or sustained cough can be associated with serious musculoskeletal complications. We report a case of a cough-induced internal oblique hematoma in an obese 73-year-old woman who was not receiving antithrombotic therapy. She had no history of trauma and presented with acute worsening pain in
Obstructive sleep apnea is related to increased systemic inflammation and arterial hypertension. We present a case of retropharyngeal hematoma without trauma und hypothesize that this could be caused by untreated obstructive sleep apnea.A 47-year-old white BACKGROUND
Gastrojejunal anastomotic stenosis of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) for morbid obesity occurs in 3-25% of cases. The aim of this report was to evaluate the utility of endoscopic balloon dilation for the therapy of anastomotic strictures after LRYGB.

In the USA, obesity rates have significantly increased in the last 15 years. Mirroring this trend, a large proportion of patients undergoing spinal surgery are obese. Concern exists for increased complications due to surgical challenges posed by obese patients and their often-prevalent
OBJECTIVE
The impact of obesity on spine surgery has been studied extensively, but only a few investigations have been focused on minimally invasive spinal fusion techniques and complication rates in normal-weight, preobese, or obese patients. Obesity was found to be a risk factor for intraoperative
BACKGROUND
Robotic single-site cholecystectomy (RSSC) has been shown to be a safe alternative to the laparoscopic approach in selected patients. Patient exclusion criteria have prevented RSSC as a surgical option in many obese patients. This study reports the feasibility of performing RSSC in obese
Although the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the treatment of infrainguinal peripheral artery disease has been reported, outcomes of patients on the upper end of the obesity spectrum, including morbid obesity (MO) and superobesity (SO), are unclear. Our goal was to analyze
