Objective: Based on long-term results, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 1-day surgery in pediatric otolaryngology.
Methods: Clinical records in our surgical day care unit during 10 years of its operation were retrospectively evaluated.
Results: From 12,331 children treated on day care unit, for 356 children (2.9%) it was necessary to stay in hospital overnight due to complications.
Conclusions: Based on our results, 1-day surgery is safe and effective and has several advantages including patients' satisfaction, a short hospital stay and therefore cost reduction and shorter waiting time for elective surgery.
