Hysterectomy - A Regional Intervention Study

Approximately 4,000 procedures with hysterectomy for benign indication are performed annually in Sweden. There are large differences in preoperative information, planning of surgery and surgical technique. A structured approach including the use of mobile phone technology can possibly improve patient information and patient involvement. Our purpose is to to evaluate whether systematic preoperative preparation improves the outcome of elective hysterectomy on benign indication.
