Multicenter StudyEffects of Obesity on Peri- and Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Robotic versus Conventional Hysterectomy.
To assess if women with obesity have increased complication rates compared with women with normal weight undergoing hysterectomy for benign reasons and if the mode of hysterectomy affects the outcomes. ⋯ The use of RTLH may lower the risk of conversion rates and intraoperative bleeding in women who are obese compared with other modes of hysterectomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyNew Crosslinked Hyaluronan Gel for the Prevention of Intrauterine Adhesions after Dilation and Curettage in Patients with Delayed Miscarriage: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial.
To evaluate the efficacy of a new crosslinked hyaluronan (NCH) gel in reducing the formation of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) after dilation and curettage (D&C). ⋯ The current study demonstrates that IUAs are frequently formed after D&C for delayed miscarriage in women without a previous history of D&C procedures, and the application of NCH gel significantly reduces IUA formation.

Multicenter Study Comparative StudyReadmission Rates after Same-Day Discharge Compared with Postoperative Day 1 Discharge after Benign Laparoscopic Hysterectomy.
To determine if there is a difference in readmission rates after same-day discharge compared with postoperative day 1 discharges after laparoscopic hysterectomy. ⋯ There was no statistically significant difference in readmission rates after laparoscopic hysterectomy between women discharged on the day of surgery or postoperative day 1.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study Observational StudyA Comparison of Outcomes Between Robotic-Assisted, Single-Site Laparoscopy Versus Laparoendoscopic Single Site for Benign Hysterectomy.
To compare the perioperative outcomes, including estimated blood loss, conversion to open laparotomy, length of stay, and total operative time of hysterectomies using robotic-assisted, single-site laparoscopy with laparoendoscopic single site (LESS) for benign indications. ⋯ This preliminary observational study found that the robotic-assisted, single-site group had a statistically significant decrease in length of hospital stay, but also experienced an increase in total operative time. There were no conversions to open laparotomies.

Multicenter StudyOne-Year Follow-Up Results of a Multicenter, Single-Arm, Objective Performance Criteria-Controlled International Clinical Study of the Safety and Efficacy of the Minerva Endometrial Ablation System.
To assess the safety and effectiveness of the Minerva endometrial ablation system for treating excessive uterine bleeding in premenopausal women. ⋯ The Minerva system was found to be safe and effective for treating patients suffering from menorrhagia. The procedure is quick and effective, does not require endometrial pretreatment, and precludes the need for additional surgical interventions to manage menorrhagia.
