N2 - Rhabdomyolysis during surgery is a rare but severe complication. Prolonged limb compression can induce a remarkable pressure increase. Local injury by limb compression may produce edema sufficient to start compartment syndrome and consequent permanent lesions. Herein we describe two patients who sustained massive rhabdomyolysis after rectal surgery with Miles position.
