This 59-year-old female patient was admitted for a hysterectomy. Prior to admission, a diagnostic workup showed extensive endometriosis involving the uterus, both ovaries, and both fallopian tubes. Because the patient has asthma, she was seen by the pulmonary consult service and cleared for surgery. The pulmonologist did emphasize the importance of using her C-PAP machine after surgery to control her obstructive sleep apnea. A total abdominal hysterectomy and a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed via laparotomy without complication. Postoperatively, the patient did well and was discharged home on day 4.
