Establishing day care and short stay surgery in trauma departments requires a careful estimation of the perioperative risks. Having the therapy be successful for each patient admitted to day care surgery should have precedence over any economic limitations. In day care surgery a trauma surgeon has to make sure that appropriate postoperative supervision is available for each patient discharged from the hospital. The surgeon is responsible for qualified care on an outpatient basis.
