Article Synopsis
- Early discharge (ED) after colectomy is increasingly being prioritized, but the factors influencing it are not fully understood.
- This study analyzed data from over 282,000 patients who underwent non-emergent colectomy between 2012 and 2021 to identify these factors, finding that robotic surgery was significantly associated with ED outcomes.
- Patients who experienced ED—defined as a hospital stay of 2 days or less—demonstrated lower rates of complications and readmissions compared to those with longer stays, indicating that quicker discharges might lead to better overall health outcomes.
