Longer Operative Time During Benign Laparoscopic and Robotic Hysterectomy Is Associated With Increased 30-Day Perioperative Complications

We demonstrated a direct, independent association between operative time and 30-day complications after laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomy. Future research should aim to further delineate risk factors for prolonged operative time and morbidity in laparoscopic hysterectomy to allow surgeons to maximize preoperative planning and optimize patient selection for minimally invasive hysterectomy.
