title: [Subcutaneous emphysema caused by postoperative vomiting].
abstract: The authors present 3 cases of subcutaneous emphysema after postoperative vomiting treated during a 4-year period. All patients were female, they underwent positioning during general anaesthesia--rotation on their abdomen and they vomited postoperatively with subsequent development of subcutaneous emphysema. The course was benign in all cases after conservative treatment. The authors discuss the possible etiology, diagnosis and treatment.
