Article Synopsis
- This study looked at why some patients don't feel better after surgery for Zenker Diverticulum, a throat condition.
- Researchers followed 184 patients and found that 12% of them didn't improve much.
- They discovered that having another problem called a hiatal hernia was common in those who didn't improve, suggesting that doctors should check for other issues before surgery to help these patients.
Introduction: For the past 3 years, our institution has implemented a same clinic-day surgery (CDS) program, where common surgical procedures are performed the same day as the initial clinic evaluation. We sought to evaluate the patient and faculty/staff satisfaction following the implementation of this program.
Methods: After IRB approval, patients presenting for the CDS between 2014 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.
