摘要
Over a 16 mo. 16 period, 3/4 of the proctologic surgery performed was done on an outpatient basis. By doing so, 1200 patient visits and approximately 300 histories, physicals and discharge summeries were eliminated, while obviously benefiting patients and reducing health care costs. Apparently hospitalization is not necessary for the majority of proctologic surgery patients.
