    Laparoscopic sterilisation as an outpatient procedure is safe and effective, with most patients satisfied with same-day discharge. This approach minimizes hospital stays for women undergoing elective sterilisation.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Gynecologic Surgery

    Background:

    • Laparoscopic sterilisation is a common gynaecological procedure.
    • Outpatient surgical services are increasingly utilized for elective procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and patient satisfaction of outpatient laparoscopic sterilisation.
    • To assess the feasibility of same-day discharge for this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A consecutive series of 100 outpatient laparoscopic sterilisations were performed.
    • Data on operative complications and hospital readmissions were collected.
    • Patient satisfaction with the day-case service was assessed.

    Main Results:

    • No serious operative complications were reported in the 100 procedures.

  • All patients were discharged on the day of surgery.
  • Two patients required subsequent emergency hospital admission.
  • The majority of patients expressed high satisfaction with the day-case service.

    • Conclusions:

    • Outpatient laparoscopic sterilisation is a safe and well-tolerated procedure.
    • Same-day discharge is feasible and associated with high patient satisfaction.
    • Further research may explore reducing readmission rates.
