title: [Ambulatory anesthesia in the elderly].
abstract: The aim of ambulatory anaesthesia in elderly is to reduce consequences of an interruption of their life habits. Medical and social selection criteria must be rigorous in order to obtain a great benefit comparing with short hospitalization. No previous significant study has been yet published to precise the place of this technique and its benefits for these patients.
