Summary

In this trial 2 groups of transmen who are getting a hysterectomy will be compared: inpatient vs outpatient.

Detailed description

In this trial transmen who consultate for a hysterectomy are randomised over 2 groups: inpatient vs outpatient. In the inpatient group the participant stays 1 night in the hospital after the laparoscopic hysterectomy. The outpatient group can leave the hospital the day of the operation. Standard care after laparoscopic hysterectomy is 2 nights hospital stay. Through this trial the investigators would like to answer following questions: * Is hysterectomy in dayclinic as safe as a hysterectomy in an outpatient setting? * Is there a higher complication/re-admission rate with hysterectomy in outpatient setting? * Are patients as satisfied with the length of hospital stay in an inpatient hysterectomy? * Is the need for pain medication higher in the inpatient group? Do this patients experience more postoperative pain? * Is there a loss in 'quality of life' with hysterectomy in inpatient setting? * Are patients who have the hysterectomy in dayclinic more anxious/worried? The primary objective is the satisfaction of the patient with the length of hospital stay. The other indicators will be seen as secondary outcomes.
