Objective: To examine the use of inpatient hysterectomy and explore changes in the use of various routes of hysterectomy and patterns of referral.
Methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was used to identify all women aged 18 years or older who underwent inpatient hysterectomy between 1998 and 2010. Weighted estimates of national trends were calculated and the number of procedures performed estimated. Trends in hospital volume and across hospital characteristics were examined.
Results: After weighting, we identified a total 7,438,452 women who underwent inpatient hysterectomy between 1998 and 2010. The number of hysterectomies performed annually rose from 543,812 in 1998 to a peak of 681,234 in 2002; it then declined consistently annually and reached 433,621 cases in 2010. Overall, 247,973 (36.4%) fewer hysterectomies were performed in 2010 compared with 2002. From 2002 to 2010 the number of hysterectomies performed for each of the following indications declined: leiomyoma (-47.6%), abnormal bleeding (-28.9%), benign ovarian mass (-63.1%), endometriosis (-65.3%), and pelvic organ prolapse (-39.4%). The median hospital case volume decreased from 83 procedures per year in 2002 to 50 cases per year in 2010 (P<.001).
Conclusion: The number of inpatient hysterectomies performed in the United States has declined substantially over the past decade. The median number of hysterectomies per hospital has declined likewise by more than 40%.
Level Of Evidence: III.

Maternal epilepsy and pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes: A population-based retrospective cohort study.
Epilepsy Behav
December 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, McGill University Health Centre, Montréal, Quebec, Canada. Electronic address:
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.
Incidence and risk factor of blood transfusion after abdominal radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer: a 10-year retrospective study of the US nationwide inpatient sample.
BMC Cancer
November 2024
Department of Gynecology, Dongguan Tungwah Hospital, Dongguan, China.
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.
Conservative Resolution of a Vesicovaginal Fistula Including Laser Therapy in a Patient Who Underwent Recurrent Surgery After Prior Radiotherapy for Endometrial Cancer.
Cancer Rep (Hoboken)
November 2024
Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Michele and Pietro Ferrero Hospital, Verduno, Italy.
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.
