Abstract;Day surgery is one of the new hospital menus, characterized by its service-oriented nature. Day surgery has been developed based on the medical philosophy of respecting the patient's lifestyle and enabling the patient to select his own treatment.

It was stressed that (1) safety of the patient, (2) good surgical result, (3) economical efficacy, and (4) patient satisfaction should be taken into consideration for successful day surgery.
