title: Resident experiences with and post-training plans for cystoscopy at the time of hysterectomy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine OB/GYN residents' experience with and opinions toward cystoscopy at the time of hysterectomy.
  
  
  METHODS
  An internet survey of OB/GYN residents assessed utilization of cystoscopy at the time of hysterectomy, familiarity with literature regarding universal versus selective cystoscopy, and plans post residency.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Cystoscopy was performed universally in the minority of cases of vaginal hysterectomy (12%), laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (14%), supracervical hysterectomy (0%), total abdominal hysterectomy (2%), laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (9%), total laparoscopic hysterectomy (27%), and hysterectomy with adnexa removal (5%). Residents planned universal cystoscopy post-training more frequently for all hysterectomy types.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cystoscopy at the time of hysterectomy was performed universally in the minority for all hysterectomy categories. For all hysterectomy types, residents planned post-graduation to utilize universal cystoscopy at the time of hysterectomy more often than occurred in training.
