Abstract
-
“Ambulatory surgery” is defined as surgical procedures requiring at least local anesthesia, which are more complex than office-based procedures but less complex than operations requiring at least an overnight stay.
-
Approximately 90 % of anorectal surgery to treat fissures, condyloma, fistulas, certain early tumors, hemorrhoids, and pilonidal disease may be suitable for the ambulatory setting.
-
The Standards Committee of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) has developed a Clinical Practice Guideline about Ambulatory Anorectal Surgery, for practitioners and health care workers, to provide current information from the literature upon which decisions can be made.
