ABSTRACT
AIMS:
To study the evolution of middle-ear surgery in 2019 in relation to the French Health Authority target of 66% day-surgery by 2020. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
A single-center retrospective observational study included all patients undergoing otologic surgery between January 2014 and December 2018 in a university hospital center. 1064 of the 1368 patients were scheduled for outpatient surgery 309 for otosclerosis, 355 for tympanoplasty with or without ossiculoplasty, 376 for cholesteatoma and 24 for other procedures. Two groups were constituted day-surgery and conventional, according to hospital stay. Surgery time, follow-up duration, number of crossovers to conventional admission, number of emergency postoperative consultations, number of readmissions and data from the phone-call systematically made the day after surgery were analyzed. The main objective was to evaluate the safety of outpatient surgery for major middle-ear interventions compared to a control group managed under conventional admission during the same period.RESULTS:
27 patients (2.5%) required crossover, mainly due to disabling vertigo (57.7%). 53 patients (4.9%) consulted before the scheduled 8th day consultation, because of severe pain (23.5%) or dizziness (34.0%). Only 10 patients required emergency readmission.CONCLUSION:
Provided that the inclusion criteria are met, all major middle-ear surgery procedures can be performed as day-surgery under satisfactory safety conditions.Palavras-chave
