Same Day Discharge vs. Overnight Stay After Hysterectomy

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Satisfaction, Safety Issues, Quality of Life

In brief

In this study patients are randomized between same-day discharge and overnight stay after undergoing a minimally invasive hysterectomy or myomectomy. The goal is to both compare patients' satisfaction and safety and quality of life (QOL) as well as financial consequences between the two groups. The investigators hope to demonstrate that same-day discharge is safe and feasible for most patients with the same level of satisfaction and safety and QOL compared to overnight stay. And also the investigators seek to determine which demographic, medical, social and intra-operative factors influence duration of admission, satisfaction, safety and QOL.
