Description
Summary:To estimate the effect of surgeon volume on key perioperative outcomes after all modes of hysterectomy. We performed a review of 1914 hysterectomies performed at a large, academic tertiary-care hospital. Women who underwent abdominal, laparoscopic, vaginal, or robotic hysterectomy for benign non-obstetric indications in 2006, 2009, and 2010 were included. Gynecologic surgeons were categorized according their average annual hysterectomy case volume: low volume (51 cases per year). Taking all modes of hysterectomy together, surgeries performed by high-volume surgeons required a shorter operative time (155.11 minutes vs 199.19 -203.35 minutes, P
