AMeTHYST (AMbulatory HYsterectomy surgery). Feasibility of minimally invasive outpatient hysterectomy, a preliminary study

Hysterectomy, one of the most frequent surgical procedures in women, is commonly performed by a minimally-invasive approach (laparoscopic or vaginal) as recommended by the French guidelines. The French authorities aim to have 66% of all procedures performed as same-day surgery in 2020. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and identify factors associated with success or failure of same-day surgery for minimally-invasive hysterectomy.
