    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Health Economics

    Background:

    • Outpatient surgery for children is recommended to control rising healthcare expenses.
    • Shorter hospitalizations minimize psychological distress for pediatric patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of outpatient orchiopexy.
    • To assess surgical success rates and cost-effectiveness of ambulatory orchiopexy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 459 inpatient and 77 outpatient orchiopexies.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, surgical details, complications, and costs.

    Main Results:

    • At least 68% of orchiopexies are suitable for outpatient procedures.
    • Overnight stays were required in only 5% of cases.
  • Surgical success was not compromised in outpatient settings.

    • Conclusions:

    • Outpatient orchiopexy is a viable and safe option for pediatric patients.
    • Ambulatory orchiopexy significantly reduces hospitalization costs by an average of 50%.
