To measure the safety culture in the robotics surgery operating room before and after implementation of the Robotic Operating Room Computerized Checklist (RORCC). ⋯ Quality of communication and collaboration in the gynecology robotics operating room is high between most positions; however, safety attitude responses are low overall. No differences after RORCC implementation and low response rates may highlight lack of staff support.

To estimate the prevalence of genital tract diseases in women with initial and recurrent postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) to help inform diagnostic pathways. ⋯ Recurrent PMB results in less likelihood of premalignant and malignant endometrial disease; however, in 1 of 4 women PMB is caused by endometrial polyps. First-line investigation in women with recurrent PMB should be tests that have high accuracy for enabling diagnosis of focal diseases, such as outpatient hysteroscopy or saline infusion sonography.

In-bag morcellation seems to be a viable alternative to open power morcellation and offers the advantage of minimal to no spillage of tissue or fluids during morcellation. We report our initial experience and technique using this approach.

A new technique of laparoscopic implantation of stimulation electrode to the pudendal nerve for treatment of refractory fecal incontinence and/or overactive bladder with urinary incontinence.
To show a new technique of laparoscopic implantation of electrodes for stimulation of the pudendal nerve for treatment of fecal incontinence and/or overactive bladder with urinary incontinence. ⋯ This technique of transperitoneal placement of an electrode to the endopelvic portion of the pudendal nerve is an effective, safe, and reproducible day procedure for treatment of intractable hyperactive bladder, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and a combination of both forms of incontinence.
