[1][2][3][4] Recently, day surgery procedures have increasingly been used for elective surgical procedures.

In a review article by Mitchell 4 it was reported that 19% of day surgery patients to contact with their primary physician within two weeks postoperatively, and 19% of the patients visited their primary physician at least once because of problems of coping with pain and the wound. In addition, the need for telephone follow-up of day surgery patients has been reported to convince them to admit to the health center when necessary has been reported.…”

“…In the same review, it was reported that 93% of the patients in a certain study, had not been questioned about their need of help at home within the first three postoperative days, although they had undergone average length procedures under general anesthesia. 4 The success of day surgery depends on effective teamwork. The day surgery team is expected to make medical, emotional, intellectual, social and cultural evaluations of the patients at every phase including preoperative, intra-operative, postoperative and home care, and to find out solutions for the identified problems.…”

Object Recent studies of conventional craniotomies and image-guided biopsies have afforded a solid characterization of surgical morbidity and the timing of its occurrence. This report outlines a novel 11-year experience with outpatient image-guided biopsy and outpatient craniotomy for supratentorial intraaxial brain tumors. Methods During the period between August 1996 and May 2007, 117 awake image-guided biopsies and 145 elective craniotomies for tumor resection were prospectively selected to be performed as outpatient procedures. Data were recorded for each patient regarding tumor histological type, reasons for admission if planned early discharge failed, and surgical complications. Results Successful discharge from the Day Surgery Unit was possible in 109 (93%) of 117 biopsy cases and 136 (94%) of 145 craniotomy cases (only 2 of which [1.5%] required unplanned readmission after discharge). Neurological worsening occurred in 5.1% of the patients who underwent image-guided biopsies, and in 5.5% of those who underwent outpatient craniotomies (based on intent-to-treat group analysis). No patient suffered an adverse event with alteration in outcome because of planned outpatient discharge. Conclusions Outpatient image-guided brain biopsy and outpatient craniotomy for tumor resection are safe and effective procedures in selected patients.
