Women Who Undergo a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy for Benign Disease. Clinical Trial
Official title:
Randomised Study Comparing Discharge 3 Days After Surgery to Home Within 24 Hours After Laparoscopic Hysterectomy.
Hysterectomy is one of the most performed surgery in gynecologic surgery. Actually, 70 000
hysterectomies are performed each year in France. Laparoscopic surgery is in progression.
The percentage of hysterectomies performed laparoscopically is increasing. The advantage of
laparoscopy include fewer infections, less operative pain, faster recovery time and shorter
hospital stay. In France, the average of hospital stay after laparoscopic hysterectomy
reduced to 3-4 days.
The study hypothesis is that a shorter postoperative stay does not decrease the quality of
life of the patients.
This study will compare the evolution of quality of life (with a questionnaire concerning
measuring health related quality of life the Euroqol EQ-5D) of patients discharged after 3
days hospital stay to patients discharged the first day after a laparoscopic hysterectomy.
