| pubmed-article:11210321 | pubmed:abstractText | The results of 629 operations for the most frequent proctological diseases (hemorrhoid, anal scissure, rectal fistula, acute paraproctitis) were analyzed. 134 operations were performed in outpatient clinic, 225--in one-day hospital and 270 (control group)--in coloproctology department. The place of operation did not influence postoperative period and temporary disability time. The mean stay of patient in outpatient department and hospital surgical unit was 3.8 and 324 hours, respectively. Since the second day after operation in specialized department it is possible to perform therapeutic manipulations outpatient in coloproctology room without negative sequences for patient's health. Cost of the ambulatory operation constituted 28.4% of hospital stay for patients with similar interventions. Surgical treatment of the above diseases could be performed in outpatients setfing in more than 50% patients. The bed resources must be used for patients who need long-term and intensive treatment in specialized department. | lld:pubmed |
