Position During Surgery
My surgery is upcoming and I’m trying to picture the position I will be in during the operation itself.
For abdominal procedures, patients are placed in either the Supine Position - flat on your back, just like you lay on a bed, with your legs together, or the Trendelenburg Position - flat on your back, head slightly tilted toward the floor, with your legs strapped flat to the table.
For vaginal procedures, patients are placed in the "Frog Leg" or Lithotomy Position - feet up in stirrups and thighs pulled back (toward your head) -.because the surgeon needs easy access through the vagina.
