Ambulatory surgery (AS) offers clinical and socioeconomic benefits, including fewer complications and faster recovery. Successful AS requires careful patient selection and organized programs for optimal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Health Services Research
  • Outpatient Medicine

Background:

  • Ambulatory surgery (AS) emerged in the USA due to economic drivers and has since expanded globally.
  • It represents a significant advancement in healthcare delivery, particularly in Europe.
  • The study evaluates the current literature and presents a personal experience with AS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy and benefits of ambulatory surgery.
  • To report on a personal series of outpatient surgical procedures.
  • To analyze the clinical and socioeconomic advantages of AS.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 810 outpatient surgical operations performed between January 1991 and December 1994.
  • Analysis of anesthesia types used: local infiltration (86.6%), spinal (10%), and general/blended (3.4%).

  • Identification of common pathologies treated: abdominal wall hernias, varicose veins, and anorectal diseases.

    • Main Results:

    • Surgery results were satisfactory, demonstrating the advantages of AS.
    • Key benefits include the absence of anesthesia and hospital stay complications.
    • Improved patient-surgeon relationships and quicker return to work were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Ambulatory surgery (AS) is clinically and socioeconomically valuable.
    • Successful implementation depends on well-organized programs and meticulous patient selection.
    • Extemporaneous organizational approaches are not recommended for AS.
