INTRODUCTION
Ambulatory surgery accounts for over 60% of all elective
operative procedures performed in the United States. With
the recent growth in major laparoscopic and office-based
surgery, this percentage may increase to 70% in the future.
When surgery is performed outside the conventional hospital
environment, it can offer a number of advantages for patients, healthcare providers, third-party payers, and even
hospitals. Patients benefit from day-surgery because it minimizes costs, decreases separation from their home and family environment, reduces surgery waiting times, decreases their likelihood of contracting hospital-acquired infections, and appears to reduce postoperative complications. Compared to traditional hospital admissions, there is less preand postoperative lab testing and also a reduced demand for postoperative pain medication following ambulatory surgery. Unlike inpatient surgery, ambulatory surgery does not depend upon the availability of a hospital bed and may permit the patient greater flexibility in selecting the time of their elective operation. Furthermore, there is greater efficiency in the utilization of the operating and recovery rooms in the ambulatory setting, contributing to a decrease in the overall patient charges compared to similar hospital-based care.
