Women were assigned based on their month of delivery/surgery during the spring and summer of 1998. No interaction was observed between procedure type and massage condition ( P=0.92), nor was there a main effect for massage ( P=0.49) when examining length of stay and pain medication use. ...
BACKGROUND: Length of stay (LOS) after surgery has become an important quality measure for many common surgical procedures and is now also tied to reimbursement. Currently, little is known about the perioperative factors that contribute to prolonged hospital LOS in women who undergo hysterectomy for...
OBJECTIVE: To estimate hysterectomy rates by type of hysterectomy and to compare age, length of stay, and regional variation in type of hysterectomy performed for benign indications. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of national discharge data using the 2003 Nationwide Inpatient Sample....
In comparison to white women, black women having hysterectomy were found to have an increased risk of one or more complications of surgical or medical care (odds ratio 1.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3-1.5), a length of stay of more than 10 days (odds ratio 2.7, 95% CI 2.5-3.1)...
This study showed that for women with endometrial cancer, RALH was cheaper compared to TAH, mainly due to fewer complications and shorter length of stay (LOS) that counterbalanced the higher robotic expenses. When including all cost drivers the analysis showed that the RALH procedure was more ...
Health policy makers have critically considered hysterectomy from the standpoint of healthcare costs, reflected in hospital length of stay and use of healthcare resources after surgery.Despite the fact that hysterectomy has been the most frequent nonobstetric surgical procedure in the United States for...
The study confirmed the benefits of minimally invasive (laparoscopic, robotic, vaginal) hysterectomy: Length of hospital stay following a minimallyinvasive procedure– about 1.6 days – was significantly shorter than length of stay for abdominal procedures, 3.9 days. ...
Results Average age was 48.5 years, mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.6, the mean length of stay (LOS) was 5.2 days using an abdominal approach and 3.0 days using a vaginal approach without laparoscopy. 14% of hysterectomies were performed vaginally, 5.9% were laparoscopically assisted ...
Minilaparotomy vs laparoscopic hysterectomy: comparison of length of hospital stay. J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2014 Jul-Aug;21(4):619-23. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j. jmig.2013.12.125.M. Perron-Burdick, A. Calhoun, D. Idowu, A. Pressman, and E. Zaritsky, "Minilaparotomy vs ...
Complications substantially increased length of stay in the hosptial and cost of hyterectomy. Women who had Vaginal or laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy experienced less post-operative pain and activity limitation than women having abdominal hysterectomy and went back to work sooner.
