The objective of the current study was to examine the characteristics related to lymph node evaluation at the time of minimally invasive hysterectomy when performed for endometrial hyperplasia in an ambulatory surgery setting.

Methods

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample was retrospectively queried to examine 49,698 patients with endometrial hyperplasia who underwent minimally invasive hysterectomy from 1/2016 to 12/2019.
