A retrospective cohort study of perioperative management on the morbidity of urogynecologic surgery.

Introduction And Hypothesis: To determine whether premenopausal and early (<70) and late postmenopausal women whose comorbidities were screened and managed using a standardized protocol experienced comparable perioperative complications after urogynecologic surgery.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all women who presented for surgical management of their pelvic floor disorders over 4.5 years for any complications, which occurred intraoperatively to 6 weeks postoperatively.

Use of a Yankauer suction tip combined with the Colpo-Pneumo Occluder balloon to suction the surgical field at the vaginal cuff during robotic hysterectomy.

A 39-year-old patient with complex endometrial hyperplasia without atypia underwent robotic total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The procedure was technically challenging because of the patient's obesity (body mass index 50 kg/m(2)). Concomitant suction of pooled blood and retraction of bowel and omentum were necessary to close the vaginal cuff.
