Summary

This study compares two approaches after robotic hysterectomy: going home the same day versus staying overnight in the hospital. Researchers will track quality of life and complications over 30 days in 300 patients with benign conditions or endometrial cancer. The goal is to see if same-day discharge is safe and helps patients recover faster.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that same-day discharge after robotic hysterectomy is safe and leads to faster recovery, potentially changing standard hospital practice.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (300 participants) and results may not apply to all patients or hospitals. Complications or lower quality of life in the day-care group could limit adoption.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient that are planned to undergo total robotic hysterectomy with or without adnexal surgery at the three sites. * Both benign conditions and endometrial cancer. * All BMI groups and all uterus sizes.
