Less is more: clinical utility of postoperative laboratory testing following minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer.

Background: With the increasing rates of same-day discharge following minimally invasive surgery for endometrial cancer, the need for and value of routine postoperative testing is unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether routine postoperative laboratory testing following minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer leads to clinically significant changes in postoperative care.

Study Design: This was a single-institution retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer by a gynecologic oncologist between June 2014 and June 2017.
