Reviewer's report:
Dear authors,
Thank you for the nice study. I have few comments
ABSTRACT
--BMI should be explained when used for the first time
INTRODUCTION
--too short. Needs to explain the issues more. It is known some risk factors, why do we need
another study?
METHODS
--do you really use this rectal classification into three levels?
--did you have the IRB approval?
--Flow chart diagram of included/excluded patients should be inserted
--What were inclusion/exclusion criteria?
--what were the diagnostic criteria of PONB?
--what is visceral obesity? what is the definition? Do you have different classification of obesity
than in the west?
RESULTS
--what are the explanations of such a long operative time (>480). Was it minimal invasive
surgery? Do you have any rules when to convert?
--how many obese patients have you had?
DISCUSSION
--what are the recommendations? So what if you the risk factors preoperatively? Will you change
the surgical approach? Any preventive measures?
