In order to optimize a patient for any gynaecological procedure, a plan for preoperative and postoperative care must be put in place. This ensures that an individualized approach is implemented in which patients are appropriately counselled prior to surgery regarding their specific risks; all medical issues are taken into account; and the surgery is carried out safely with all team members being aware of and able to plan for anticipated issues. In terms of postoperative management, a detailed plan with consideration of pain relief, fluid balance, mobilization and thromboprophylaxis will reduce perioperative morbidity and identify and treat any potential complications. Consideration of all the above factors is necessary to achieve a successful procedure for the patient, safe and timely discharge from the hospital and good patient satisfaction [1].
