The First National Examination of Outcomes and Trends in Robotic Surgery in the United States

Several reform groups, including the President's Education Policy Advisory Committee and Educate America, are calling for national examinations for high school students. Examination advocates claim the following benefits: the establishment of national standards, increased accountability, and increased motivation for students. Advocates also point out that the United States is the only major industrialized country without some sort of national examination. Critics claim that examinations restrict teachers' creativity; force teachers to teach for the examination; and promote improper comparisons among states, districts, schools, teachers, and students. (See, e.g., DeWitt [1991]).

Objective: Robotic hysterectomies are becoming increasingly common in the United States. Although benefits exist, risks are also present. The purpose of this study was to see what percentage of women with migraine headaches had a post-operative exacerbation.Study design: Records were examined for the diagnosis of migraine headaches as well as post-operative diagnosis of a headache. Records were also examined for age, estimated blood loss, total skin to skin operative time and body mass index.Results: Surgeries and records for 100 women were examined. Only 6% of women complained of post-operative headaches. However, 45% of women with history of migraines complained of post-operative headaches (p <0.001). Age was the only significant factor with women having post-operative headaches being significantly younger (p = 0.009).Conclusion: Post-operative headaches were more common in women with a pre-operative history of migraine headaches than in those without a history. Patients with a history of migraines should be warned of this risk.
