Abstract

Background: Intra-abdominal hypertension due to surgical position increases bleeding at the surgical site. In this study, we evaluated the impact of prone and jackknife position on intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), lung mechanics, blood loss at the surgical site, and duration of the surgical procedure on lumbar disc operations.
