Hospital revisits within 30 days after conventional and robotically assisted hysterectomy.
This study compared the rates of hospital readmissions, emergency department, and outpatient clinic visits after discharge for robotically assisted (RA) versus nonrobotic hysterectomy in women age 30 or more with nonmalignant conditions. It found that using 2 different methods to control for selection, there were higher rates of revisits among women undergoing RA versus non-RA hysterectomy for benign conditions.

Surgical site infections following ambulatory surgery procedures.
The authors determined the incidence of clinically significant surgical site infections (CS-SSIs) following low- to moderate-risk ambulatory surgery in patients with low risk for surgical complications. They found that among patients in 8 states undergoing ambulatory surgery, rates of postsurgical visits for CS-SSIs were low relative to all causes but may represent a substantial number of adverse outcomes in aggregate, thus meriting quality improvement efforts to minimize their occurrence.
