    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Evaluation

    Background:

    • Preoperative evaluation in urology often overlooks potential gynecologic disorders.
    • Failure to identify these can lead to intraoperative complications and medicolegal issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the importance of a comprehensive history and pelvic examination in preoperative urologic assessments.
    • To reduce the incidence of unexpected gynecologic findings during urologic surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed patient history taking.
    • Thorough pelvic examination by urologists.
    • Recognition of when specialized gynecologic expertise is required.

    Main Results:

    • Improved preoperative diagnostic accuracy.
    • Significant reduction in the need for intraoperative consultations for gynecologic issues.
    • Prevention of unconsented castration or loss of reproductive function.

    Conclusions:

    • A meticulous preoperative evaluation, including pelvic examination, is essential for urologic surgeons.
    • This approach minimizes risks, avoids unnecessary surgeries, and preserves patient's reproductive health.
