Ambulatory Urology and Urogynaecology: The Future of Outpatient Surgery

As defined by the International Association for Ambulatory Surgery (IAAS), ambulatory surgery refers to an operation or procedure where the patient is discharged on the same working day, excluding office or outpatient operations. The rapid growth of ambulatory surgery is driven by technological advancements, enhanced recovery programs, and the need for economic efficiency.

The Rise of Ambulatory Urology and Urogynaecology

Thanks to recent technological advancements, many urologic surgeries can now be performed on an outpatient basis, reducing the need for overnight hospital stays. This shift has led to a significant increase in the number of people requiring urologic surgery to be treated as day patients or outpatients, necessitating a different level of care from inpatients.

The field of Ambulatory Urology and Urogynaecology has evolved to meet this growing demand, focusing on outpatient management and care. With more and more outpatient procedures being performed, there is a growing need for healthcare professionals to stay updated on the latest techniques, best practices, and guidelines in this field.
