AB  - Thorough  preoperative  evaluation  and  perioperative  care  is  essential  in  preparing  a  patient  for  urogynecologic  surgery.  The  goal  of  preoperative  care  should  not  be  to  simply  “clear  the  patient  for  surgery.”  Rather,  the  purpose  is  to  evaluate  the  patient’s  overall  health  and  optimize  medical  conditions  in  order  to  reduce  surgical  morbidity  and  ensure  a  rapid  return  to  normal  function  in  the  postoperative  period.  Urogynecologic  surgery  differs  from  gynecologic  oncology  and  other  urgent  or  emergency  surgery  in  that  these  cases  are  elective  procedures  treating  conditions  that  have  a  major  impact  on  a  patient’s  quality  of  life.  Varied  treatment  options  to  choose  from  makes  the  informed  consent  process  challenging  and  time  consuming.  This  chapter  will  review  the  important  components  of  informed  consent,  pertinent  preoperative  evaluation  that  will  aid  in  risk  stratification,  and  perioperative  management  to  improve  patient  safety.
