[Urologic surgery without hospitalization]

The improvement of surgical utensils, the development of endoscopic techniques, the simplification of many surgical procedures and the increasing substitution of classic surgery with treatments using the physical effects originated from innovative devices, together with the evolution of anaesthetic techniques, make possible for urological operations to be now simpler and less aggressive. All of what, whenever both the hospital and the social environment so allow it, can let us in many cases dispense with hospitalizations which, up to now, were considered essential or, at any rate, significantly reduce the patient's stay in hospital.
