Abstract
We performed day surgery on the ear in our clinic (2001 year; 366 cases, 2002 year; 703 cases, 2003 years; 519 cases, 2004 years; 751 cases, 2005 years; 737 cases). However, we have never encountered a case that required postoperative rehospitalization after day surgery. In addition, our all ear surgeries were completed within a short time, and the success rate was good. Our findings suggested that long-term hospitalization to ensure postoperative rest have no medical foundation because day surgery in our clinic was performed securely and surely. We think that it is most important to prevent medical accidents with reliable surgical risk management when day surgery is performed.
