OBJECTIVE: We examined the use, safety, and economic impact of same-day discharge for women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy. STUDY DESIGN: We identified women in the Perspective database who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy from 2000 through 2010. Discharge was classified as same-day, 1 day, and ≥2 days. Multivariable models were used to examine predictors of same-day discharge, reevaluation, and cost. RESULTS: Among 128,634 women, 34,070 (26.5%) were discharged on the day of surgery. Same-day discharge increased from 11.3% in 2000 to 46.0% by 2010 (P < .0001). The rate of reevaluation within 60 days was 4.0% for those discharged same day, 3.6% after a 1-day stay, and 5.1% for patients whose stay was ≥2 days (P < .0001). In a multivariable model, patients discharged on postoperative day 1 were less likely to require reevaluation (risk ratio, 0.89; 95% confidence interval, 0.82-0.96), but costs were $207 (95% confidence interval, $179-234) greater. CONCLUSION: Same-day discharge after laparoscopic hysterectomy is safe and associated with decreased cost.
