Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare two cushioning materials (a gel mattress and an egg-crate foam mattress) placed beneath patients undergoing gynecologic surgery to prevent patients from sliding toward the head of the bed during head-down positioning. Our hypothesis is that the two materials will be equally good at preventing slide on the table and that slide will be less than 5 cm (\<2 inches) on average.
Primary Outcome
Patients undergoing gynecologic surgery require steep (30 to 45 degree) Trendelenberg's position to allow adequate exposure of the pelvis. This position leads to a small amount of movement toward the head of the bed. The table was marked at the point of the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and at the point where a vertical marker touching the acromioclavicular (AC) joint of the left shoulder drops to the table. At the end of the surgery, when the operating table is leveled, the final positio
