Is this a usual term? Far right? frogleg position comes to mind based on the sounds=like, though I'd not expect to hear that here as much as I would lithotomy or dorsal lithotomy.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2000 Report Share Posted October 9, 2000 , I'm not sure where to point for you to go look on the internet. However, I do know of some good books -- Operating Room Technique and 's Care of the Patient in Surgery. Also, I'm currently an OR nurse. I can tell you a few things about positioning. It sounds like this patient was put in a frog-legged position to do the vag preg and to insert the foley catheter. Then her legs were repositioned and she was placed supine. As far as other positions, here's some: Supine on fracture table Prone Prone on frame Left or right lateral decubitus Supine Low lithotomy High lithotomy Semi-fowlers Fowlers and the list goes on... So there's many different positions -- depending on the surgery.
