Published: September 2008

Objective: To assess the utilization rates of and complications associated with inpatient hysterectomy in California between 1991 and 2004.

Methods: We used the California Patient Discharge Database to analyze International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnostic and procedure codes for 649,758 women undergoing inpatient hysterectomy in California between 1991 and 2004 using multiple logistic regression models.

Results: Between 1991 and 2004, the incidence of any type of inpatient hysterectomy for benign gynecologic conditions declined 17.6%. The rates of laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy and subtotal hysterectomy increased substantially. The year of hysterectomy was a factor associated with both medical and surgical complications; the odds of inpatient complications between 1991 and 2004 steadily declined.

Conclusion: In California between 1991 and 2004, the incidence of inpatient hysterectomy for benign gynecological conditions and the adjusted odds of complications declined substantially. Changes in practice and shorter hospital stays may have affected the changes in inpatient hysterectomy rates and associated inpatient complications.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to explore the effects of maternal epilepsy on pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes by analyzing data from a large cohort of pregnancies between 2004 and 2014.
  • - Women with epilepsy were found to have a higher prevalence of other health issues (e.g., obesity and gestational diabetes) and demographic characteristics indicating lower income and higher insurance coverage through Medicaid or Medicare.
  • - Results indicated that pregnant women with epilepsy faced significantly higher risks for various complications, including preeclampsia, preterm delivery, and even maternal death, underscoring the need for targeted medical support during pregnancy.

National Utilization Trends of Inpatient Procedures for Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids and Adenomyosis: A 10-Year Analysis.

J Am Coll Radiol

December 2024

Assistant Professor, Interventional Radiology Residency Program Director, Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Department of Radiology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine changes in procedural utilization for symptomatic uterine fibroids and adenomyosis from 2011 to 2020.

Methods: An institutional review board-exempt retrospective study of the National Inpatient Sample database from 2011 to 2020 was performed using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, and International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, diagnosis and procedural codes for uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, hysterectomy, myomectomy, uterine artery embolization (UAE), and endometrial ablation. Patients with endometriosis, uterine cancer, placenta accreta spectrum, pelvic inflammatory disease, and uterine prolapse were excluded.

Background: With the rising prevalence of abdominal radical hysterectomy, the need for perioperative blood transfusion has emerged as a significant clinical challenge. Independent risk factors for blood transfusion during abdominal radical hysterectomy remains limited, and identifying these factors is needed.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of data was performed using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), focusing on patients who underwent abdominal radical hysterectomy between 2010 and 2019.

Article Synopsis
  • Isolated vaginal vault recurrence of endometrial cancer can sometimes be treated effectively with rescue radiotherapy, but surgery is often preferred for patients who have previously undergone radiation.
  • Vesicovaginal fistulas (VVFs) can develop following surgical interventions due to damaged pelvic tissue from prior treatments, complicating the patient's recovery and management.
  • The case study presents a woman who experienced a VVF after robotic surgery for endometrial cancer, ultimately benefiting from a conservative treatment approach involving prolonged catheterization and laser therapy, which successfully resolved the fistula.

Background: The Center for Disease Control's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) reported increased Standardized Infection Ratios (SIRs) for hysterectomy at a large community hospital.

Objective: To promote a surgical site infection (SSI) prevention bundle implemented to reduce hysterectomy-associated SSI.

Methods: A multidisciplinary Workgroup implemented the Hysterectomy SSI Prevention Bundle in 2020 to enforce standardization of perioperative techniques.
