Current status and perspective of ambulatory colorectal surgery / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

With the development of minimally invasive surgery and the application of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol, the postoperative recovery of colorectal surgery was improved dramatically. Ambulatory colorectal surgery is gradually realized in this situation. In 2009, the first report of ambulatory colorectal surgery was published. And the results of several cohorts published in past 3 years showed that about one-third colorectal patients are the appropriate candidates of ambulatory colorectal surgery. Proper eligibility criteria, application of advanced minimally invasive surgery and enhanced recovery after surgery protocol, in combination with effective and strict complication surveillance and follow up after discharge, are the key points for the realization of successful ambulatory colorectal surgery. On the basis of reviewing and analyzing the history and current situation of daytime colorectal surgery, this paper will summarize the key point of daytime colorectal for clinical reference.
