The feasibility of outpatient surgery was investigated at a regional hospital in a Third World country. A series of 73 patients with uncomplicated hernias (inguinal, femoral) and hydroceles were allocated at random to receive standard surgical treatment either as inpatients (group 1) or as outpatients (group 2). Patients living within a 4 km radius of the hospital or who agreed to stay in specially provided quarters nearby were eligible to take part in the study. Patients not able to follow the basic hygiene rules taught by the local staff were excluded. The morbidity rate was 5/36 (13.8%) in group 1 and 8/37 (21.6%) in group 2. No statistically significant differences were demonstrated between the complications that occurred in the two groups.
