Abstract:
Objective Ambulatory surgery(AS),with its simple procedures and efficient utilization of resources,is an ef-fective means of improving medical efficiency.The aim of this study was to improve the daily procedures of AS by analyzing the perform-ance and results of knee arthroscopy-assisted AS. Methods This study included 188 cases of knee arthroscopic surgery performed from March to August 2017,97 of them treated in the Ambulatory Surgery Center(group A)and the other 91 in the conventional ward (group B). We compared the average hospital stay,hospitalization expenses,and postoperative complications between the two groups of patients. Results Compared with group B,group A showed a significantly shorter hospital stay([95.0±41.3]vs[25.5±0.8]h, P<0.05)and lower hospitalization expenses([28 699.6±11331.1]vs[22231.7±7152.2]RMB,P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the incidence rate of postoperative complications at 1 and 3 days after surgery,1 case of bleeding in group A and 1 case of leg swelling in group B. Conclusion Ambulatory surgery in our hospital needs to be further improved on the basis of accelerated rehabilitation surgery as the core concept,precision medicine as the approach,and individualized treatment as the goal.
