Laparoscopic hysterectomy route, resource use, and outcomes: change after power morcellation warning.
The purpose of this study was to examine changes in utilization of different types of laparoscopic hysterectomy, as well as their associated resource use and surgical outcomes, after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety statement in April 2014 regarding power morcellation. They found rates of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy fell in association with power morcellation safety warnings, whereas rates of other laparoscopic hysterectomies continued to rise.
