Summary
Short-stay hospital models are increasingly popular for elective surgeries, with one-day surgeries comprising up to 87% globally. This article explores the feasibility of applying these advanced inpatient replacement technologies, including for breast cancer treatment, based on current data.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Oncology
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Inpatient replacement technologies, including short-stay hospital, outpatient surgery, one-day surgery, and day-case surgery, are gaining prominence in modern surgical practices.
- Globally, one-day surgeries account for a significant percentage (75-87%) of all elective surgical interventions.
- The concept of the short-stay hospital was introduced in the Russian Federation as a pilot project in 2016, with a continuous rise in the number of applicable surgical interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the applicability of short-stay hospital models in contemporary surgical practice.
- To assess the potential for utilizing short-stay hospital approaches for specific procedures, such as breast cancer treatment.
- To analyze current scientific and clinical data regarding the efficacy and safety of short-stay hospital models.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of current scientific and clinical data on short-stay hospital models.
- Analysis of trends in outpatient and one-day surgery prevalence.
- Examination of the evolution of surgical treatment for breast cancer with a focus on risk minimization and quality of life improvement.
Main Results:
- Short-stay hospital models are a growing trend in modern surgery, with widespread adoption in various international contexts.
- The number of surgical interventions suitable for short-stay hospital settings is increasing annually.
- Surgical treatment of breast cancer is evolving towards minimally invasive approaches to enhance patient outcomes.
Conclusions:
- The widespread adoption and increasing scope of short-stay hospital models suggest their growing feasibility.
- Further investigation into current scientific and clinical data is necessary to confirm the real-world applicability of these models, particularly for complex procedures like breast cancer surgery.
- The trend towards minimizing surgical risks and improving patient quality of life aligns with the principles of short-stay hospital care.
