Background In 2017, the utilization of robotic-assisted surgery had grown 10–40-fold relative
to laparoscopic surgery in common general surgery procedures. The rapid rise in the …

Ensuring patient safety and optimizing outcomes in obstetrics and gynecology through
improving technical skills, enhancing team performance, and decreasing medical errors has …

Objective: To compare outcomes of robotic-assisted (RAH), total laparoscopic hysterectomy
(LH), and total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) for benign conditions in obese patients …

Objective To identify predictors of same‐day discharge after benign minimally invasive
hysterectomy. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we identified women (n= 1084) …

Background While proficiency-based robotic training has been shown to enhance skill
acquisition, no studies have shown that training leads to improved outcomes or quality …

Introduction Hysterectomy is a commonly performed procedure with widely variable costs.
As gynecologists divert from invasive to minimally invasive approaches, many factors come …

Background: Cost and quality are important, complex, and intertwined surgical outcomes.
Evidence suggests that major cost drivers include operating room time, length of stay, re …

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using the National Inpatient Sample database. We
extracted women aged 18–50 years who underwent open and minimally invasive …

Purpose Same-day discharge (SDD) is increasingly prevalent following minimally invasive
hysterectomy (MIH). However, consensus guidelines for selecting SDD eligibility criteria for …

Objective To identify patient, perioperative, and hospital factors that drive total hospital
charges for benign hysterectomy. Methods The authors conducted a retrospective cohort …
