Summary

Day-case laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (LVR) is safe for selected patients with rectal prolapse. Younger patients with private insurance were more likely to be discharged the same day.

Area of Science:

Colorectal surgery
Minimally invasive procedures
Pelvic floor disorders

Background:

Laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (LVR) is a non-resectional surgical technique for treating full-thickness rectal prolapse and obstructed defecation syndrome.
While LVR offers potential for minimal patient trauma and same-day discharge, its safety and feasibility for day-case procedures require assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge after laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (LVR).
To identify patient-specific and system-related factors associated with same-day discharge following LVR.

Main Methods:

Prospective data collection from 120 patients undergoing LVR between June 2008 and October 2011.
Comparison of outcomes between patients discharged on the same day versus those with overnight or longer stays.

Logistic regression analysis to identify factors associated with same-day discharge.

Main Results:

Same-day discharge was achieved in 23% of patients, with 67% discharged on postoperative day 1.
Complications were infrequent, with 89% of patients experiencing none.
Younger age and private insurance status were significantly associated with same-day discharge.

Conclusions:

Same-day discharge following LVR is a safe and feasible option for selected patients with rectal prolapse or obstructed defecation.
Factors such as younger age and private healthcare access influence discharge timing.
The majority of patients (90%) were discharged by the first postoperative day, indicating efficient recovery.
