[Ten years of ENT surgery in the Toledo's outpatient surgery unit].
One of the Spain's pioneer out patient surgery units is the Toledo's one. We have realized a retrospective study of the 10th first years of its functioning. During this period, 4733 patients were operated, on tonsills and adenoids, laryngeal microsurgeries, septoplasties, miringotomies, and miringoplasties. We obtained a 91.8% of discharge from hospital in the same day and few complications (5.5% without hospitalization and 0.7% with). Thanks to a questionary we know that the degree of satisfaction of the patients is high, and so, added to our good statistic results, stimulate us to follow in this working line.
