Hysterectomy for benign gynecological conditions is a common operation that has developed extensively through the last 20 years.

Consequently, the Danish Health Authority initiated a national clinical guideline on the subject based on a systematic review of the literature.

Objectives: To evaluate the antihemorrhagic effect of prophylactic TA treatment in major benign uterine surgery.
Search Strategy: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched from 1980 to 2015 without language restriction using search terms related to major uterine surgery combined with TA.
Aim Of The Database: The steering committee of the Danish Hysterectomy and Hysteroscopy Database (DHHD) has defined the objective of the database: the aim is firstly to reduce complications, readmissions, reoperations; secondly to specify the need for hospitalization after hysterectomy; thirdly to secure quality assessment of hysterectomy and hysteroscopy by setting standards and national guidelines; and finally to intensify the monitoring of laparoscopic surgery and explore long-term side effects after hysterectomy.
Study Population: We include all women in Denmark who have had elective benign uterine surgery since 2003. The surgery includes hysterectomy and operative hysteroscopy.
