title: Perioperative care management for the patient undergoing gynecologic laparoscopy.
abstract: Patients undergoing abdominal laparoscopy require a process that is systematic and thorough and that at the same time has the flexibility to adapt to each individual's needs. The use of standards of care will facilitate the delivery of care by all staff, providing important links to standardized perioperative documentation, orientation, and meeting of quality performance indicators. Two examples of standards of care are provided in this article.
