Abstract
Women in Maryland undergoing hysterectomy surgery at academic hospitals during July through September of the academic year did not experience worse outcomes relative to women having surgery in other months. Additional studies are necessary to further assess the possibility of a July effect in hysterectomy on a national basis. Institutions should continue to provide effective surgical training environments for new interns and residents transitioning to more senior roles, while maintaining optimal patient safety.
