Abstract

The female pelvis contains non-gynecologic structures with associated disorders that gynecologists frequently encounter. Most of these conditions are very common, easily recognized and depending on surgeons’ comfort level, may be treated by the operating gynecologist or referred for care to General Surgeons. The purpose of this chapter will be to discuss the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of some of the more commonly encountered General Surgery conditions that may be seen during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery and give recommendations and tips on care.
