Day Care in Robotic Surgery Hysterectomy. Investigate Quality of Life and Safety With Same Day Discharge After Robotic Hysterectomy for Patients With Benign and Malignant Disease. A Multicenter Randomized Study With 3 Hospitals in Stockholm Sweden.

DARSH - A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial: Day-care vs Overnight Stay in Robotic Assisted Hysterectomy in Patients With Bening Disease and Endometrial Cancer.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Nov 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Patients undergoing robotic assisted hysterectomy in three different hospitals in Stockholm will be randomized to day-care (going home the same day as the surgery) or admission (staying at least one night after surgery). The aim with this study is to investigate if patients in day-care recover as fast/faster as the other group that stays in the hospital. Both patients with benign disease and malign disease (endometrial cancer) will be included in the study. Patients quality of life (QoL) will be measured before surgery and after surgery at day 3,7 and 30 with a questionnaire called Eq-5D-5L from Euroqol. The questionnaire is validated for postoperative QoL and widely used. Complications due to surgery within the 30 first days after surgery will also be recorded in the two groups to make sure it is safe for the patients to go home the same day as their surgery.
