[Ambulatory surgery unit. One year's experience of the otorhinolaryngology service]

Surgery practice is no longer defined by the number of days of stay but for its results without regard to whether it has been performed under in-patients or outpatient basis. Due to this fact and others suck as the increase in population and shortage of surgical resources, the improve in technics, and new concepts in anesthetics, we developed and out patient surgery unit in our hospital. We describe our experience in the design development and follow-up of this unit. The sticss in set on ensuring patient's safety and comfort in order to make this procedure more attractive than in patient's ones. Finally we explored the significance of data available, its pros and cons.
