Comparison of morbidity between inpatients and outpatients following gynaecological laparoscopy

Fifty-one inpatients and 58 outpatients undergoing elective gynaecological laparoscopy under general anaesthesia were investigated for post-operation morbidity by means of questionnaires. A high incidence of morbidity was found in both groups extending into the second day, with no marked difference between the two groups.
