“…Tan et al [6] demonstrated that intra-compartmental pressures during femoral fracture Wxation in the hemilithotomy position signiWcantly increased from a baseline of 9.2 to 27.3 mm Hg and returned to normal when the legs were placed in the supine position. Meyer et al [7], in their study of healthy volunteers, found that the intra-compartmental pressure increased when the legs were placed in the lithotomy position with calf support. The increase in pressure was noted within the Wrst few minutes and remained stable.…”

“…La posición de Trendelenburg con el tobillo por encima del nivel del corazón causa una disminución de la perfusión arterial de las extremidades inferiores 1,5,[12][13][14] . Se ha demostrado que la presión de perfusión disminuye en 0,78 mmHg por cada centímetro que una extremidad es levantada por encima del nivel de la aurícula derecha 9 .…”

“…La dorsiflexión pasiva del tobillo también ha sido asociada con un mayor riesgo de SC 5,12 . Campos quirúrgicos, cables de luz y cámara e instrumentos laparoscópicos deben ubicarse cuidadosamente por encima del paciente para evitar peso excesivo y tracción como resultado de la dorsiflexión de tobillo.…”

“…Numerous risk factors for developing compartment syndrome in the lower leg after surgery in this position are found in the literature: a decreased perfusion because of elevation of the legs above heart level as occurs in the lithotomy and Trendelenburg position 2,[4][5][6]8,11,[15][16][17] ; intraoperative low blood pressure; chronic or acute arterial or venous insufficiency (e.g., by hyperflexia of the hip or knee joint causing compression of iliac, femoral, or popliteal vessels 5,6,8,12 ); external compression of the lower legs because of bad positioning in the leg supports or leaning on the patient by a member of the operating team 6,11,15,[18][19][20] ; decreased compartmental size through antiembolism stockings or stirrups 21 ; and duration of the operation of more than five hours. [1][2][3][4][5][7][8][9][10]12,13,16 Additionally strongly developed calf muscles in young men seem to be a risk for the development of compartment syndrome.…”
