Area of Science:

  • Surgical Procedures
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Office Surgery (OS) is a developing methodology within day surgery, adapted for private medical practice.
  • It mirrors hospital operating unit characteristics, including daily recovery.
  • The study aims to evaluate the cost-benefit of OS against international data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the cost-benefit of Office Surgery.
  • To compare OS outcomes with international literature.
  • To analyze the feasibility of OS in private medical settings.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed description of the OS structure and its hygienic-sanitary certification requirements.
  • Analysis of 1771 surgical cases performed in an OS setting.
  • Inclusion of patient selection criteria, clinical evaluations, and post-discharge follow-up.

Main Results:

  • A low complication rate of 3.6% (65 cases) was observed.
  • Promising results were achieved through careful patient selection and follow-up.
  • The study included esthetic-reconstructive, laser, minor urology, and phlebologic surgeries.

Conclusions:

  • Office Surgery demonstrates potential for patient grading, cost control, and low morbidity/mortality for specific short-term procedures.
  • Limitations include suitability for local anesthesia/sedation and low septic/hemorrhagic risk procedures.
  • Further clarification is needed regarding OS legislation and clinical/insurance recognition.
