With increased financial constraints on the medical environment, understanding the drivers of unscheduled readmissions following gynecologic surgery will become increasingly important to value-driven care.

Objective: The current study was conducted to identify risk factors for 30-day readmission following hysterectomy for benign and malignant indications.
