ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine whether surgical volume influences efficiency of hysteroscopic myomectomy as a treatment for uterine fibroids. STUDYDESIGN:
This retrospective cross-sectional study performed at a university teaching hospital included all patients who underwent hysteroscopic myomectomy between 2001 and 2005 by a faculty surgeon. We used 3 outcomes as measures of efficiency amount of tissue resected per case, operating department time per case and amount of tissue resected per minute.RESULTS:
High-volume surgeons resected more tissue than low-volume surgeons (p = 0.01), had shorter operating department times (p = 0.018) and resected more tissue per time (p = 0.015).CONCLUSION:
High-volume surgeons have higher efficiency performing hysteroscopic myomectomy as a treatment for uterine fibroids.
