Abstract

Outpatient surgery for anorectal disease is becoming increasingly popular among surgeons as well as patients because of the obvious benefits of reduction of cost (about 50%–75%), reduction of paperwork, lessened time off work for the patient, and lessened risk of hospital-acquired complications. If a surgeon is accomplished in the techniques described herein and is committed to the use of ambulatory surgery, as much as 95% of all anorectal surgeries can be done without overnight hospitalization.20
