Typical recommendations for pre-operative care may include, but are not limited to, any of the following:

• Usually, routine laboratory testing may include a complete blood count, serum electrolytes, age-appropriate health screening studies, and electrocardiogram for women aged 50 years and older. 
• Preoperative imaging of the pelvis (MRI, ultrasonography and computed tomography) may be indicated to evaluate the extent of uterine pathology and associated anatomical changes for surgical planning purposes.
