title: [The state of pediatric urological outpatient surgery].
abstract: Economic requirements and the wishes of the patients have led to a clear increase in outpatient surgery. Besides the observance of legal conditions, a well-devised structure of organization is the prerequisite for a frictionless realization. The operating surgeon decides about the suitability of the patient, is responsible for a course without complications and takes on the postoperative care. The most frequent operations are circumcision, orchidopexy and the repair of inguinal hernias. Outpatient surgery stands out for a low rate of complications and a high satisfaction of the patients.
