Prospective Implementation and Evaluation of a Decision-Tree Algorithm for Route of Hysterectomy

Abstract

(Abstracted from Obstet Gynecol 2020;135:761–769) Between 2007 and 2010, the rate of total vaginal hysterectomy (TVH) in the United States among commercially insured patients undergoing hysterectomy decreased from 21.7% to 19.8% and by 2013 decreased to 11.5%. Between 2007 and 2010, use of robotic-assisted hysterectomy increased from 0.5% to 9.5%.
