Objective: We examined the use, safety, and economic impact of same-day discharge for women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Study Design: We identified women in the Perspective database who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy from 2000 through 2010. Discharge was classified as same-day, 1 day, and ≥2 days. Multivariable models were used to examine predictors of same-day discharge, reevaluation, and cost.
Results: Among 128,634 women, 34,070 (26.5%) were discharged on the day of surgery. Same-day discharge increased from 11.3% in 2000 to 46.0% by 2010 (P < .0001). The rate of reevaluation within 60 days was 4.0% for those discharged same day, 3.6% after a 1-day stay, and 5.1% for patients whose stay was ≥2 days (P < .0001). In a multivariable model, patients discharged on postoperative day 1 were less likely to require reevaluation (risk ratio, 0.89; 95% confidence interval, 0.82-0.96), but costs were $207 (95% confidence interval, $179-234) greater.
Conclusion: Same-day discharge after laparoscopic hysterectomy is safe and associated with decreased cost.

Sialolithiasis is a common cause of salivary gland obstruction, leading to symptoms such as pain and swelling. In cases of intraparenchymal submandibular stones and proximal ductal stones larger than 7 mm, interventional sialendoscopy may fail, necessitating sialoadenectomy. As an alternative, intraoral stone extraction can be performed with CT-guided navigation.

Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is a painful procedure often conducted without analgesia. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a paracervical block (PCB) as the mode of pain relief during MVA. Few studies have assessed patient perspectives on pain control during MVA.

Background: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is a treatment option for a wide range of rectal lesions. Postoperative urinary retention is a frequently associated complication. Some studies have suggested that the use of alpha-1-blockers may reduce the risk of postoperative urinary retention after hernia and colorectal surgery, but evidence is lacking.
