Highlights
- •Compare same-day discharge (SDD) vs. traditional admission to the hospital following minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIS)
- •Six studies met eligibility criteria.
- •Results suggest that SDD post hysterectomy for gynecologic malignancies with or without staging is safe & feasible.
- •Low complication & readmissions rates, few/low rates of unscheduled visits within follow up period of 2–6 weeks after surgery
Abstract
Objective
To compare same-day discharge (SDD) versus traditional admission to the hospital following
minimally invasive hysterectomy (conventional laparoscopy and robotic assisted laparoscopy)
for the treatment of gynecologic malignancies.
Methods
A systematic review was conducted in which MEDLINE and Cochrane Center Register of
Controlled Trials were searched using terms related to same-day discharge, outpatient,
and hysterectomy. We reviewed published English language trials and studies that compared
safety, feasibility, readmission rate, emergency department (ED) visits, complication
rate, and associated risk factors for admission. Studies of any design that included
at least 20 patients who underwent minimally invasive hysterectomy (conventional laparoscopy
and robotic laparoscopy) for gynecologic oncology indications were included.
Results
The literature review yielded 421 citations, of which 27 full-text articles were reviewed.
Six comparative studies met eligibility criteria. Study data were abstracted and inputted
into structural electronic forms.
Conclusion
Our results suggest that in comparison to admission post minimally invasive hysterectomy
with or without full staging, SDD in gynecologic oncology procedures is safe, and
feasible. It is associated with low complication and readmissions rates, few visits,
and low rates of unscheduled visits within the follow up period of two to six weeks
after surgery.
