M Berkus, J W Daly

    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |August 15, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cone biopsy can be safely performed as an outpatient surgical procedure for most patients, reducing hospital costs. This retrospective analysis of 108 procedures found no contraindications for eliminating overnight stays post-surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Surgery
    • Outpatient Procedures

    Background:

    • Hospital costs are a significant concern in healthcare.
    • Cone biopsy is a common gynecologic surgical procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of performing cone biopsies as an outpatient surgical procedure.
    • To determine if eliminating overnight postoperative stays is safe and cost-effective.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 108 cone biopsies performed between 1974 and 1978.
    • Review of patient outcomes to identify contraindications for outpatient surgery.

    Main Results:

    • No contraindications were found for the majority of patients to eliminate overnight postoperative stays.
    • Twenty-two subsequent outpatient conizations confirmed the safety and efficacy of the outpatient approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Cone biopsy can be safely performed as an outpatient surgical procedure for most patients.
    • Eliminating overnight postoperative stays for cone biopsies can potentially reduce hospital costs.
