    Ambulatory laparoscopy is a safe and effective outpatient procedure for various conditions. With a low complication rate and no mortality, it is well-tolerated by patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Context:

    • Laparoscopy has evolved as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in various surgical fields.
    • Evaluating the safety and efficacy of laparoscopy in an ambulatory setting is crucial for patient care and resource optimization.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of performing laparoscopy in an outpatient setting for a diverse patient cohort.
    • To determine the complication rates and identify potential risk factors associated with ambulatory laparoscopy.

    Summary:

    • A seven-year experience (1982-1988) involving 600 outpatients undergoing 707 laparoscopic procedures for various diseases.
    • Previous abdominal surgery was not a contraindication in 39.16% of patients. Procedures included hepatic biopsies, adhesiolysis, and Tenckhoff catheter placement.
