Importance: Same-day home recovery (SHR) is now the standard of care for many major surgical procedures and has the potential to become standard practice for benign foregut procedures (eg, hiatal hernia repair, fundoplication, and Heller myotomy).
Objective: To determine whether SHR for patients undergoing benign foregut surgery is feasible, safe, and effective.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective cohort study took place across 19 medical centers within an integrated health care system in northern California from January 2019 through September 2021.
