How long can a patient be kept in the stirrups without doing nerve damage? And, can a surgeon be sued for causing nerve damage after having a patient in such a position long enough to cause nerve damage?
I had a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy ten years ago and I was reviewing the surgeon report and came across with the term Lithotomy position. I found this very helpful video and also your comment has giving me an idea of why I have several issues with nerve pain, back and hip problems after the surgery. 🤔

My understanding is that both legs should be moved intothe stirrups at exactly the same time to avoid damage to the patients hip and back
Both legs at once is my understanding as well. And, is it my imagination or were the stirrups way too high?
