Abstract Aim The British Association of Day Surgery states that elective laparoscopic Nissen’s fundoplication procedures should be performed as a day case in 40% of patients. The purpose of the study was to design a model for laparoscopic fundoplication to increase the numbers done as a day case procedure. Method This was a retrospective study of all patients who underwent laparoscopic fundoplication from 2014 - 2019. We introduced patient information leaflets and awareness amongst the patients regarding the procedure following our initial audit in 2014. Further intervention in terms of the surgical team and theatre staff awareness to reach our goal by distributing surgery-oriented pamphlets and information. We re-audited to see if there were any improvements in 2016 and 2019 when compared to our previous cohort. A total of 104 patients were audited through the years. Results In 2019, 34.4 % patients regardless of hiatus hernia size were discharged on the same day; 48.2 % patients were discharged on the next day; 24.1% patients had a large hiatus hernia or gastric volvulus; 40.9% patients excluding large and complicated hiatus hernia were discharged on the same day; 75.8 % patients had intraoperative local anaesthetic inject at the operative field. Conclusions The main two factors which contributed to improvement of our results were Intraoperative injection of local anaesthetic medications to operative field and Patient information pamphlets. Also, when a patient is made aware of the procedure being a day case in advance, they are more prepared to return home the same day following the procedure.
