Position-related injury is uncommon in robotic gynecologic surgery.

Objective: To assess the rate and risk factors for position-related injury in robotic gynecologic surgery.

Methods: A prospective database from 12/2006 to 1/2014 of all planned robotic gynecologic procedures was retrospectively reviewed for patients who experienced neurologic injury, musculoskeletal injury, or vascular compromise related to patient positioning in the operating room. Analysis was performed to determine risk-factors and incidence for position-related injury.

Modified vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap vaginal reconstruction: an analysis of surgical outcomes.

Objective: To examine the early and late flap related morbidity and associated risk factors in patients with modified vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flap neovaginal reconstruction at the time of pelvic exenteration for gynecologic malignancy.

Methods: From January 1993 to January 2011, all patients were identified who underwent anterior, posterior, or total pelvic exenteration with VRAM flap neovaginal reconstruction. Patient records were systematically reviewed and demographic, clinicopathologic, operative details, flap related complications, and risk factors for wound healing were recorded and statistical analysis performed.
