I am having a vaginal Hysterectomy next Wednesday. I did my phone pre op with the hospital last week and they told me I would go home same day. Did a phone call with the surgery coordinator at my Doctors office this morning and she said I'll stay overnight. Did anyone go home same day? Or did you stay overnight?

Hysterectomy in uk is classed as major surgery..
Different countries do different things.

I had a vaginal hysterectomy three weeks ago and was kept in for the two nights. My consultant said I would probably only be in for one night but pre-op nurse said definitely two as it's still classed as major surgery.
