Abstract
The development of a postoperative neuropathy is a rare complication that can be devastating to the patient. Most cases of postoperative neuropathy are caused by improper patient positioning and the incorrect placement of surgical retractors. This article presents the nerves that are at greatest risk of injury during gynecologic surgery through a series of vignettes. Suggestions for protection of each nerve are provided.
