Many patients are dissatisfied with daycase laparoscopy, highlighting a need to reassess current surgical guidelines. Patient satisfaction is linked to pain, recovery time, and hospital stay duration.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Patient Outcomes
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery Evaluation
  • Healthcare Service Auditing

Background:

  • Daycase surgery, including laparoscopy, is increasingly common.
  • Patient acceptability and satisfaction are key metrics for surgical procedure success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient satisfaction with laparoscopy as a daycase procedure.
  • To identify factors influencing patient satisfaction in daycase laparoscopic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective audit of preselected patients undergoing daycase laparoscopy.
  • Standardized questionnaires administered pre-operatively and at 4-week follow-up.
  • Analysis of patient-reported outcomes including satisfaction, pain, and recovery.

Main Results:

  • 69% of patients reported satisfaction with daycase laparoscopy.
  • Significant differences (P < 0.001) in pain, recovery, and stay length between satisfied and dissatisfied groups.
  • 31% of preselected patients expressed dissatisfaction with the daycase approach.

Conclusions:

  • Current daycase surgery guidelines may be overly ambitious.
  • Patient dissatisfaction suggests a need for revised selection criteria or enhanced post-operative support.
  • Factors like pain management and recovery significantly impact patient acceptance of daycase procedures.
