Abstract
INTRODUCTION. The ambulatory greater surgery (CMA) is a welfare model that allows to deal with a group selected patients, obtaining the same effectiveness in the operation with no need of hospitalization. MATERIAL AND METHODS. 843 patients by means of a prospective study studied from October of 2,000 to March of 2.005, analyzing the factors of risk, types of pathologies and made techniques, as well as different aspects related to the surgery. We made a comparison between the collected data of the patients submissive CMA and those that were entered more than 24 hours. RESULTS. In both groups of patients the prevalent pathology was hernia inguinal (44´5% of the total of CMA and 46´6% of the surgery with entrance). In the entered patients the rate of infection was of 2´3%, whereas there was no infection in the CMA. In both groups a pursuit of the patients was made during the 30 following days to the operation. CONCLUSIONS. the CMA is related to a smaller rate of infection of the wound, minor morbi-mortality, as well as with a reduction of the stay.
