Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Patient Experience

Background:

  • Assessing patient preferences for hospital discharge after breast cancer surgery.
  • Evaluating the feasibility of same-day discharge for breast cancer patients with planned overnight stays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine patient willingness for same-day discharge following breast cancer surgery.
  • To understand patient preferences regarding overnight stays post-breast cancer procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A structured questionnaire was administered to patients within six weeks of surgery.
  • Data collection focused on patient views regarding their surgical recovery and discharge timing.

Main Results:

  • The majority of patients undergoing mastectomy and axillary node clearance preferred an overnight stay.
  • Psychological reasons were the primary driver for preferring an overnight stay post-mastectomy.

Conclusions:

  • Patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery demonstrated a greater readiness for same-day discharge.
  • Discharge preferences vary significantly based on the type of breast cancer surgery performed.
