1645 Same Day Discharge after Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at an Urban, Safety-Net Hospital

Same Day Discharge (SDD) after minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) is an evidence-based safe alternative to inpatient hospital admission for appropriately selected patients. Many institutions have implemented SDD protocols after minimally invasive surgery with excellent outcomes. However, as there is clear disparity in access to minimally invasive surgery in safety net hospitals, we hypothesize a similar disparity in SDD. Our goals were 1) to implement a SDD pathway for patients undergoing MIGS at an urban, safety-net hospital and 2) to track outcomes following pathway implementation.
