What the reason for reversing the operating table during ear surgery?

I've always assumed it was just to have enough clearance for the surgeon to be able to sit, ie; so the table base does not get in the way of his/her legs while sitting at the head

Most of time you have to remove all of your clothes and change into a hospital gown. The reason for this is because they need the operating room to be sterile. Sometimes they will allow you to wear underwear but it depends on what operation you are having and who the surgeon is. Sometimes they may remove your hospital gown to perform the surgery, but this is not always the case. It depends on the site of operation.

Why do you have bruising on your thigh after arthroscopy knee surgery?
Very unusual to have bruising in thigh after arthroscopic knee surgery and you will have to ask the operating team for the reason. Are you on any anticoagulants? I was just in the er for the exact thing after having the same procedure done. my whole calf and thigh is totally black,not just black and blue, but black, within two days after this procedure. after many tests, they determined that blood vessels broke and if you took asprin during the two weeks prior to surgery, it will be much worse. but it could also be internal bleeding or a blood clot, so if you have this, go to the er right away and i was told to do today
