3.2. Analyses of LUS Scores
The total LUS scores were statistically significantly similar between the groups (However, when the change in LUS measurements was investigated by region, the postoperative L2, L4, L5, L6, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 values of the patients in the PV group were statistically significantly higher compared to the preoperative values (In the V group, on the other hand, the postoperative L1, L2, L3, L5, L6, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 values were statistically significantly higher than the preoperative L1, L2, L3, L5, L6, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 values (The change in the postoperative LUS score in the R2 region was statistically significantly higher in the V group compared to the PV group (There was no significant difference between the two groups in the mean intraabdominal pressure, and the maximum intra-abdominal pressure was kept around 15 mmHg.
