title: [Ambulatory pediatric surgery--from the parents' view].
abstract: In recent years "day-care surgery" has been the treatment of choice for an ever increasing number of paediatric surgical patients in countries with an efficient Health Service. The reasons for this are the decreased psychological trauma to the children and the dramatic fall in expenses. In view of the important role played by parental attitude in the spreading of day-care surgery, nearly 200 parental opinions about day-care surgery have been studied. From them it became clear that the parents were convinced of advantages of this form of treatment over the conventional form requiring longer hospitalization. The authors believe that nowadays "day-care surgery" should be resorted to in the majority of a well circumscribed group of paediatric surgical conditions, from which both child and parents, and also our National Health Service will benefit.
