Introduction of the day case total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) protocol.

Background: Traditionally total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) patients are admitted for 1-2 days post-operatively. Day case TLH has been proven to be feasible and safe in other countries; however, this tertiary Queensland hospital is one of the first Australian institutions to introduce a day case TLH protocol.

Aim: To pilot the implementation of our day case TLH protocol assessing the feasibility, safety and patient satisfaction of same-day discharge.
