Uptake, views, opinions and practice of same-day discharge following total laparoscopic hysterectomy: a national survey of UK gynaecologists.
Article in Facts, views & vision in ObGyn, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is associated with reduced post-operative pain and enhanced recovery, allowing same-day discharge (SDD). However, adoption of SDD TLH is not established, and practice varies. Objectives: To conduct a national survey of UK gynaecologists with an interest in laparoscopic surgery to obtain their views, opinions and experience of SDD TLH. Methods: Members of the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy were invited to complete an online questionnaire between January 2023 and January 2024. Main Outcome Measures: The questionnaire consisted of 16 questions about SDD TLH covering three domains: (i) service provision, (ii) prognostic variables and (iii) information giving and education. Results: One hundred and forty-eight clinicians from 148/215 NHS hospitals (69%) responded. One hundred and thirty one (89%) respondents thought that SDD following TLH was beneficial, and 48 (32%) hospitals had an established service. Adequate pain control was considered the most important factor to achieve SDD TLH, followed by control of nausea and vomiting. Seventy-eight (53%) respondents removed the urinary catheter at the end of the procedure. All respondents believed that managing patients' expectations was important to achieve compliance with SDD and 123 (83%) thought that developing an online preadmission patient information resource was needed. Conclusions: One third of UK NHS hospitals have a SDD TLH service but there is variation in availability and protocols (pre-, peri- and post-operative management). These data can help develop health service strategy to promote SDD after TLH and standardise protocols. What is New?: The survey quantifies and demonstrates hospital-level variation in uptake and practice of SDD provision after TLH.
