Background and Objectives: As the performance of minimally invasive hysterectomy has increased in the United States, the need to apply outcomes measures has also increased. This study was conducted to determine the impact of a fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) specialist on patient outcomes after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) in a gynecology department.Methods: This is a retrospective review of 218 patients who underwent a laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign indications at a suburban academic-affiliated tertiary care hospital with a broad patient base from 2010 to 2014.Results: A total of 218 women underwent conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy by 10 members of a gynecology department: 96 women (44%) by a MIGS specialist and 122 women (56%) by a group of general gynecologists. Operative time was less (119 vs 148 min; P < .001), and patients were more likely to be discharged on the same day (90.6% vs 66.4%; P < .001) for the MIGS specialist compared to other surgeons. More patients of the MIGS specialist had undergone prior laparotomies (42.7% vs 17.2%; P =
