[Nursing in a Day Surgery regime: experience in laparoscopic colecistectomy].

The introduction of new surgical techniques, that allow rapid functional recovery, and short-lasting anesthetics has made it possible to include a wider range of procedures in day surgery regimes. Videolaparoscopic colecistectomy (VLC) , a video-assisted surgical model, is one of these. The University Hospital of Pisa has responded to the growing needs of clients by creating an autonomous unit for this purpose, the Day Surgery Service for general surgery, in order to identify an efficient model in terms of organization, management and quality.
