Day case surgery
Paul Baskerville
Introduction
One of the main aims of surgery is to return the postoperative patient to their home environment, in a safe and timely fashion. If, following a surgical procedure, the patient does not spend a few days in hospital, but returns home the same day, we describe that process as day case surgery. Why should this obvious and rather banal variation in length of hospital stay deserve a chapter of its own in a surgical textbook? The reason is that the development of successful day surgery practice, and the knowledge gained from studying its component parts, have been instrumental in improving the delivery of all surgical care in the last 30 years. It has helped all parties responsible for
