Arch Surg -- Abstract: Association Between Venous Thromboembolism and Perioperative Allogeneic Transfusion, February 2007, Nilsson et al. 142 (2): 126

While this isn't specific to hysts, it does raise the issue of what transfusion, both pre- and post-op does to our clotting risk, already raised by abdominal surgery. Something to discuss with our surgeons.

Prophylactic Oophorectomy in Young Women Carries Increased Mortality Risk

Psychological Aspects of Pelvic Surgery

This article briefly considers the gynecologic surgeon's preoperative responsibilities, special needs of various patient populations, and care during and after hospitalization. The aim is to encourage gynecologists to recognize that although a gynecologic operation may be an ordinary procedure for the surgeon, it is a unique experience for the patient. Her sense of well-being and health may be threatened; she may lose control of her body for some period of time; and she may perceive the planned procedure as temporarily or permanently affecting her sexual identity. As once complicated procedures become routine, the gynecologic surgeon risks losing perspective about the impact of surgery on the life of the individual woman.
