[Major ambulatory surgery in otorhinolaryngology].

In the last years we have witnessed a great increase of major ambulatory surgery procedures in our specialty. Some of them are very common as adenoidectomies, tonsillectomies and also the insertion of transtympanic tubes. Nevertheless there is no agreement about which of the procedures should be realized through AMS. The aim of this work is to do a review on the most important features involved in AMS entlightening what kind of operations can be included i such programmes.

[Ambulatory laryngeal microsurgery].

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to determine if laryngeal microsurgery (LMS) under general anesthesia is a safe and convenient procedure when carried out on an outpatient basis in selected patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seventy-eight adult patients (60 men and 18 women) were scheduled for outpatient LMS under general anesthesia between February 1995 and December 1996. RESULTS: Their age range was 19 to 77 years (mean 48 years). Forty-four (56.4%) were ASA I, 32 (41%) ASA II, and 2 (2.6%) ASA III. Laryngeal biopsy was performed in 40 cases (51.3%), polypectomy in 30 cases (38.5%), excision of Reinke's edema in 5 cases (6.4%), and cyst excision in 3 cases (3.8%). The mean stay in the Day Hospital was 7 hours (range 2.5-10 h). Seven patients (9%) had immediate postoperative complications. Three patients were admitted overnight. No patient had to be readmitted to the hospital after discharge. CONCLUSIONS: Outpatient laryngeal microsurgery is an appropriate and safe alternative to inpatient surgery in carefully selected patients, who are kept under strict observation in the immediate postoperative period.
