Resumen
Introducción

La cirugía mayor ambulatoria (CMA) comprende aquellos procedimientos quirúrgicos que requieren un escaso periodo de recuperación post-operatoria, siendo dados de alta los pacientes en el mismo día de la intervención.

Objetivos

Este trabajo pretende explicar el funcionamiento de nuestro Servicio de Urología en una unidad integrada de cirugía mayor ambulatoria, así como revisar los resultados obtenidos en los cinco primeros años de vida de nuestra unidad.

Material Y Métodos

Se han incluido 339 pacientes con una edad media de 37,5 años (3-84) exponiendo el protocolo de selección de pacientes, patología, procedimiento empleado y tipo de anestesia, así como los criterios de alta.

Resultados

En 4 pacientes (1,2%) ha habido complicaciones intraoperatorias en 24 (7%) inmediatas y en 33 (9,7%) tardías. Según resultados de la encuesta anónima realizada sistemáticamente a todos los pacientes el 95% se han mostrado satisfechos con esta nueva modalidad asistencial.

Conclusiones

La CMA supone una mínima alteración del modo de vida del paciente, disminuye costos hospitalarios, la morbilidad es similar a la de la hospitalización y supone un reto para los profesionales del Servicio.

Abstract
Introduction

The ambulatory surgery includes those surgical procedures that require a limited period of post-operative recovery, so that patients will be discharged from hospital on the same day of their surgical operation.

Objetives

This publication aims at both, explaining our Service way of working as an integrated unit of ambulatory surgery, and it also tries to revise the results which have been obtained during our first 5 years working together.

Method And Materials

Three hundred and thirty-nine patients, with an average age of 37.5 years (3-84), have been included in this report which sets out the medical record of this patients selection, their pathologies, the different procedures used, the kind of anaesthesia as well as the criterion to discharge them from hospital.

Results

Intra-surgical complications have arisen in 4 (1.2%) of our patients, inmediate complications in 24 patients (7%) and late ones in 33 (9.7%) of our patients. According to the results of an anonymous inquiry which has been polled systematically to all our patients, 95% of those polled are completely satisfied with this new way of medical attention.

Conclusions

The ambulatory surgery means a sligth change in our patients’ way of life. It also diminishes hospital costs, morbidity is similar to the one produced in hospitalization and it implies an important challenge for the professionnals of this Service.
