Fifty-five percent were AH, 26% LH, 17% RH, and 2% vaginal. The proportion of AH performed at JMH and UMH was 66% and 22% (p < .0001), respectively. Between the two hospitals there was no statistically significant difference in age (p = .73), comorbidities (p = .33), BMI (p = .83) and previous abdominal surgeries (p = .11). The RH group had a higher proportion of patients with previous abdominal surgeries (75% vs. 60% in the AH group and 75% vs. 54% in the LH group). There was no difference in the rate of transfusion (p = .2), ICU admission (p = .5), complications (p = .77) and readmission (p = .63). At UMH, the robotic approach had a significant decrease in the mean operative time (143 min vs. 194 min in AH, p < .0001 and 173 min in LH, p = .0002), length of stay (1.1 days vs. 2.4 days in AH, p < .001 and 1.2 days in LH, p = .001) and EBL (79 ml vs. 250 ml in AH, p < .001 and 94 ml in LH, p = .5). Conclusions: Data analysis from the first 18 months of a benign robotic pilot program demonstrated outcomes comparable to laparoscopic and open approach, with reduced hospitalization, blood loss and operative time. If the robotic approach for benign hysterectomies is adopted at JMH, the estimated cost savings per procedure
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
