title: [Is ambulatory surgery at a maximum care clinic justified?].
abstract: It is politically desirable to promote ambulatory surgery in private practice or in hospitals as a means to reduce costs. In contrast to this, one has to deal with unsatisfactory net profits. Even if a hospital is primarily running at a loss, ambulatory surgery should be performed. Offering the service of ambulatory surgery can improve the recruitment of patients and may help to compete with other hospitals.
