Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and outcomes of major ear surgery performed on a day-case basis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 253 major ear cases.
  • Data collected over a 10-year period at a UK National Health Service Trust hospital.

Main Results:

  • Unplanned overnight admission rate was 2.8%.
  • Short-period transfers to inpatient wards occurred in 2% of cases.

Conclusions:
