Key result
Ambulatory anorectal surgery can be performed safely and efficiently at reduced cost compared with inpatient procedures, utilizing multimodal pain regimens and fluid restriction.
Why the study?
Do perioperative management strategies in ambulatory anorectal surgery improve safety, efficiency, and patient satisfaction compared with inpatient procedures?
Do perioperative management strategies in ambulatory anorectal surgery improve safety, efficiency, and patient satisfaction compared with inpatient procedures?
Ambulatory anorectal surgery is a safe, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to inpatient procedures when utilizing appropriate perioperative management strategies.
Supports cost-effective ambulatory anorectal surgery with multimodal protocols; leaves open need for prospective trials to confirm outcomes.
Ambulatory surgery is appropriate for most anorectal pathology. Ambulatory anorectal surgery can be performed at reduced cost compared with inpatient procedures with excellent safety, improved efficiency, and high levels of patient satisfaction. Several perioperative strategies are employed to control pain and avoid urinary retention, including the use of a multimodal pain regimen and restriction of intravenous fluids. Ambulatory anorectal surgery often utilizes standardized order sets and discharge instructions.
