CONCLUSION: Compared with White women, Black and Hispanic women are less likely to undergo benign hysterectomy via a minimally invasive approach. Although larger uteri and comorbid conditions may attribute to higher rates of open abdominal hysterectomy, the higher prevalence of abdominal hysterectomy among younger Black and Hispanic women highlights potential racial disparities in women's health and access to care.

DESIGN: This is a retrospective analysis of the prospective National Surgical Quality Improvement Program cohort program.
INTERVENTIONS: None MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Current Procedural Terminology codes identified women undergoing benign hysterectomy and perioperative data including race and ethnicity were obtained. To determine relative trends in hysterectomy among race and ethnicity cohorts (White, Black, Hispanic), we calculated the proportion of each procedure performed annually within each race and ethnicity group and compared it across groups. From 2007 to 2018, 269 794 hysterectomies were collected (190 154 White, 45 756 Black, and 33 884 Hispanic). From 2007 to 2018, rates of laparoscopic hysterectomy increased in all cohorts (30.2%-71.6% for White, 23.9%-58.5% for Black, 19.9%-64.0% for Hispanic; ptrend <0.01 for all). For each year from 2007 to 2018, the proportion of women undergoing open abdominal hysterectomy remained twice as high in Black Women compared with White women (33.1%-14.4%, p <.01). Data from the 2014 to 2018 targeted files showed Black and Hispanic women undergoing benign hysterectomy were generally younger, had larger uteri, were more likely to be current smokers, have diabetes and/or hypertension, have higher body mass index, and have undergone previous pelvic surgery (p <=.01 for all).
PATIENTS: Adult patients undergoing hysterectomy.
SETTING: This study included data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database including data from the 2014 to 2018 targeted hysterectomy files.
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine national trends among race and ethnicity and route of benign hysterectomy from 2007 to 2018.
