The study secondarily sought to evaluate if any clinical patient factors accounted for differences in type of surgeon subspecialization.

Statistical analysis was performed using SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC) and SPSS (29.0.2.0[20]).</p><p><strong>Measures and main results: </strong>The volume of all hysterectomies in the United States increased from 2015 to 2021 in this sample. The overall increase in benign hysterectomies was statistically significant, with an annual percentage multiplier (APM) of 1.003% (95% CI 1.001-1.006) per year. GOs performed an increasing share of the total number of benign hysterectomies with an APM of 1.026% per year (95% CI 1.02-1.03). GOs were more likely to perform benign hysterectomies in patients with a history of prior abdominal surgery (p <.001) and in uterine weights >500 g (p <.001). No difference was observed in surgeon subspecialization in patients with a prior history of pelvic surgery (p = .10) or presence of intraoperative endometriosis (p = .10).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The overall volume of benign hysterectomies in the United States is increasing, based on NSQIP data between 2015 and 2021.
