The effect of obesity on cost of total laparoscopic hysterectomy

To test for the association between increasing patient body mass index (BMI) and the cost of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). Secondary outcomes include the relationship between increasing BMI and both peri‐ and post‐operative morbidity.
