Abstract

One of the most significant changes in surgical practice during the past two decades has been the growth of ambulatory surgery. This change is owing to the increased popularity of minimally invasive surgical techniques and the improvement of various anesthetic techniques. Therefore, implementation of perioperative patient care paradigm that reduces the time to discharge home and resumption of activities of daily life after a wide variety of surgical procedures is required.
