“…The same planning could be applied to ileostomy reversal cases, where patients identified as high-risk are directed to specialty care centers that are better equipped to manage higher complexity patients. Equally, low risk cases could be identified for same day discharge after reversal, so reducing average LOS [ 34 ].…”

“…The primary strength of this study is the large sample size collected over a 10‐year study period. The apparent evolution of patient care over that time reflects a global trend towards minimizing hospital stay and expanding outpatient care for surgery . A limitation of this study is selection bias in the two groups we used for comparison.…”

“…POI is the most common complication following LIC with a rate of 4.1% -32.6% (2)(3)(4). POI is the biggest obstacle for a successful enhanced recovery after surgery protocols (8,9), and it is the most important cause of hospitalization within the first 30 days postoperatively (10). POI rises healthcare costs by increasing the risk of hospital-acquired infections (5,6), and it usually improves with conservative treatment (11).…”
