Usually it is a surgeon preference unless a D&C and still if it is a missed AB I still ask about an internal prep.

I ask on all GYN cases...and usually the answer is yes.

Urology cases where the female is in lithotomy position get a vag prep.

You prep the inside of the vagina during a cysto?

No, I think they mean cystocele/rectocele/bladder suspension surgeries. Like Monarc, Perigee, ProLift, etc... Our urologist does the procedure, but of course we prep the vagina.

We do internal vaginal preps on hemorrhoidectomies also.

Re: What cases require an internal vaginal prep?

We'll do vag preps on anything that would involve the vagina.
This would include TAH's, Vag.Hysters, LAVH, and of course D&C, etc.
I also do vag preps on Cysto's, but not hemorrhoids, and like that.

Hope that helps.
