Abstract:
We conducted a day-case total laparoscopic hysterectomy service improvement project at Nelson Public Hospital, New Zealand, in August and September, 2024. A retrospective analysis was performed, and a voluntary patient questionnaire administered, at the 4-week postoperative review. Five participants were recruited and successfully discharged on the day of surgery without complication, and either agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, 'I would recommend day-case total laparoscopic hysterectomy to friends and family'. Qualitative feedback was strongly positive. We conclude that with appropriate infrastructure and resourcing, offering day-case total laparoscopic hysterectomy in a regional centre is both viable and acceptable to patients.
