Abstract
Sixteen case reports describing 19 cases of CS following gynecologic surgery in lithotomy position were found during a literature search. This review is based on 14 of these case reports (17 cases), which describe a postoperative compartment syndrome in a previously healthy leg. We summarize the reported cases and literature on CS after gynecologic procedures in order to increase awareness among medical staff and to give careful recommendations regarding perioperative management based on available information.
