Gynecological laparoscopic ambulatory surgery: A clinical analysis of 62 cases

Abstract

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of gynecological laparoscopic surgery in an ambulatory surgery center.Methods Between September 2010 and January 2013,62 patients who received laparoscopic surgeries under general anesthesia for benign gynecological diseases in the ambulatory operation room of our hospital and Shanghai Worldpath Clinic International Center were recruited.The duration of operation,loss of blood,post-operative pain,nausea-vomiting score and patients' satisfaction were summarized.Results The duration of operation was (38.06±15.50)min.The loss of blood was (30.40± 18.98) ml.The post-operative pain scale,2 (1,3).The nausea-vomiting score was 2 (1,2).Patients' satisfaction was 95.21±3.74.All the patients were discharged before 5 PM the some day following the surgery and resumed their work within 4 days.Conclusion Gynecological laparoscopic ambulatory surgery,which is associated with a shorter duration of operation,reduced loss of blood and improved patients' satisfaction following appropriate analgesia and anti-emetic therapy,can be feasible and safe in patients with benign diseases.
