Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Recent studies suggest that prolonged Trendelenburg positioning during robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy (RA-TLH) may lead to fluid shifts and pulmonary, airway, head and neck, and cranial complications in the upper body. This study examined the upper-body complications during RA-TLH for benign gynecologic disease.
