Abstract:
In the hyperlordotic position, the patient's hips are above the feet and head. This position has previously been associated with partial vena caval occlusion, increased venous pressures, and spinal cord infarction. We describe a case of fulminant hepatic failure after radical retropubic prostatectomy performed in the hyperlordotic position.
