The pursuit of greater efficiency in modern day surgery has led to the adoption and development of many new and extended nursing roles. Such roles often focus on physiological measurement to ensure patient safety before and during surgery. However, studies suggest that patients require considerable care in relation to the social and psychological effect of hospital admission, general anaesthesia, surgery and discharge. This article discusses the effect of modern day surgery on nurses' practice and concludes by outlining the psychological care need of patients undergoing elective day and short stay surgery.

Any telephone conversations between the healthcare professional and the patient should be structured, for example, using the post-discharge telephone support system developed by Chung (1995) (Figure 4).…”

A considerable amount of elective surgery can now be undertaken on a day-case or short-stay basis--23-hour or 72-hour stay. Such changes to modern surgery are transforming surgical nursing as a result of the reduced levels of physical care traditionally required by elective surgical patients. Brief hospital stay and self-care have become the greater part of preparation for, and recovery from, elective surgery. Education and psychological aspects of care are also important in the development of elective surgical nursing. This article focuses on laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed as a day-case procedure and identifies the changing aspects of nursing intervention required.
