Why the study?
Duration of surgery was the main determinant in considering whether a patient required an overnight hospital stay.
Does an overnight hospital stay or extended recovery period allow long-duration oral and maxillofacial surgeries to be performed in an outpatient setting for patients with ASA score <3?
Does an overnight hospital stay or extended recovery period allow long-duration oral and maxillofacial surgeries to be performed in an outpatient setting for patients with ASA score <3?
Extended recovery periods or overnight stays enable long-duration oral and maxillofacial surgeries to be performed in outpatient dental hospital settings for relatively healthy patients.

May support outpatient scheduling of long-duration cases in ASA <3 patients with extended recovery; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.
