[Outpatient surgery in otorhinolaryngology]. / Ambulatornaia khirurgiia v otorinolaringologii.

86 ENT operations have been performed in the day outpatient hospital. Basing on this experience, the authors present criteria of the patients' selection for the outpatient surgery, describe preoperative preparation of the patients and criteria of safe discharge from the hospital. The list of the operations which can be performed in a day hospital is given as well as results of the operations in it. Postoperative complications were not registered. The treatment results enable the authors to advocate wider spectrum of ENT operations for carrying out in ambulatory setting (in a day hospital).
