Purpose. The aim of this study is to show you the results we obtained through the integration of the Urology Department into the Ambulatory Surgery Unit for the very first twelve years. Scope. We will explain both the criteria we followed for patients to join in and the surgical and anesthetic procedures we used with those 1544 patients who were ambulatory subjected to urological diseases. After those patients were treated, they reached up to 95% of reasonable results. Conclusions. Most of urological patients liable to have surgical treatment are bound to be included in an ambulatory surgery program, which implies neither a worse healthcare service standard nor a worse satisfaction in patients.

Scientifically based protocols for patient selection, preoperative assessment and perioperative management of distinct processes and for the rational use of laboratory tests should be more widely used. The need for an outpatient anesthesia clinic for preoperative assessment was notable. The results of our survey indicate that better results in performance indexes are achieved in autonomous ambulatory surgery units than in integrated units. Given the possibility of defining and validating quality standards, further multicenter studies should be performed.
