Subcutaneous emphysema can occur after surgery involving abdominal positioning and postoperative vomiting. Conservative treatment is effective for this benign condition.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Surgery
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Postoperative complications require careful monitoring and management.
  • Subcutaneous emphysema is a rare but potential complication following certain surgical procedures.

Observation:

  • Three female patients developed subcutaneous emphysema after general anesthesia with prone positioning.
  • Vomiting occurred postoperatively, preceding the onset of subcutaneous emphysema.

Findings:

  • All three cases of subcutaneous emphysema resolved with conservative management.
  • The condition was benign in all observed instances.

Implications:

  • This case series highlights a specific etiology for subcutaneous emphysema.
