Operating Room Personnel

The role of the operating room personnel in gynecologic surgery has changed dramatically.1 This drastic change has resulted from the development of gynecologic endoscopy and, more importantly, the adaptation of the video camera to the laparoscope and hysteroscope.1–14 Video- scopic surgery enables everyone present to follow the procedure on the video monitor and appropriately anticipate the surgeon’s needs and so has created an entirely new involvement for operating room personnel. This situation has made the contribution by operating room personnel so important that many hospitals have recognized the need for an “endoscopy team” (Fig. 28.1).1,2,15 Preview Unable to display preview.
