The mean duration of anesthesia for all patients was 96.9 minutes, the times in group 2 and group 3 were 100.3 minutes and 88.7 minutes, respectively, and the difference between groups 2 and 3 was statistically significant (p=0.003).The mean BMI values of all patients, in group 2 and in group 3 were 16.1, and 18.6, respectively and the difference between group 2 and 3 was statistically significant (p |
