AB A  thorough  preoperative  history  and  physical  should  be  taken  from  all  patients  undergoing  surgery.  Pre-operative  testing  may  include  a  complete  blood  count  and  chemistries  with  additional  testing  being  based  on  the  findings  of  the  preoperative  history,  physical  examination,  indication  for  surgery,  and  planned  procedures.  Special  attention  needs  to  be  paid  to  the  preoperative  and  intraoperative  issues  that  arise  in  the  care  of  obese  patients,  cardiac  patients,  respiratory-compromised  patients,  and  any  other  patients  with  significant  medical  comorbidities  including  patients  with  venous  thromboembolism  or  malnutrition.  Counseling  and  postoperative  management  of  patients  and  their  families  will  be  influenced  by  the  unique  surgeries  and  conditions  encountered  in  gynecologic  oncology.
