Gynecologic surgeries are often complex interventions that require extensive communication and planning to ensure favorable patient outcomes. Many gynecologic surgery patients present with a vast range of systemic comorbidities that need adequate workups and plans for care prior to undergoing anesthesia. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are vital for organizing patient-centered discussions preoperatively, allowing the patient, anesthesia, and surgical teams to address all clinical concerns directly to minimize perioperative risks. A multidisciplinary approach in preoperative patient-management decisions helps optimize the care of each patient's comorbidities and medications and is essential to ensure best patient outcomes.
