Study Comparing Same-Day Discharge Versus Overnight Hospital Stay After Robotic Hysterectomy for Benign Conditions and Endometrial Cancer in Three Stockholm Hospitals

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the recovery and safety of patients undergoing robotic assisted hysterectomy, comparing those who go home the same day day-care to those who stay at least one night in the hospital. The study includes patients with both benign conditions and endometrial cancer. Quality of life after surgery will be measured using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire at multiple time points to assess recovery speed and patient satisfaction. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups the experimental group goes home the same day as surgery, while the control group stays overnight in the hospital. The study is conducted across three hospitals, with benign cases treated at two sites and endometrial cancer cases at a third. An additional questionnaire about satisfaction with hospital stay length will be given 30 days after surgery. During the study, patients will complete quality of life questionnaires before surgery and then at 3, 7, and 30 days after surgery. Researchers will also monitor surgical complications, readmissions, reoperations, and sick leave within 30 to 60 days post-surgery. Socioeconomic costs will be evaluated, and the total participation period spans from surgery to 60 days after. Safety and patient recovery outcomes are carefully recorded throughout.
