Abstract
Benign Gynecologic surgery for the elderly patient has certain considerations for the provider to be aware of. As the population ages, more women require benign gynecologic procedures. To date, there are no guidelines regarding pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative care specific to this patient population. This outline provides a reference for providers when approaching the elderly patient in need of benign gynecologic surgery.
