Abstract

Abstract: Of the 500,000 hysterectomies performed annually in the USA , more than 80% are for the
treatment of benign disease and over 50% are open procedures. Several recent studies have identified
many of the key patient and provider determinants of the underutilization of minimally invasive
surgery (MIS) by gynecologic surgeons. While both the American Congress of Obstetrics and
Gynecology (ACOG) and the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL)
recognize minimally invasive hysterectomy as the standard of care, the best approach to transforming
this recommendation into practice remains unresolved.
