Quick recovery after outpatient surgery: safety and patient traits
This study looks at how safe and effective it is to let patients go home quickly after certain outpatient surgeries. It includes common procedures like colonoscopy, vasectomy, tooth extractions, and minor arm/leg surgeries. The goal is to understand who recovers well and if there are any risks to leaving sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 15 years old or older.
- You had one of these outpatient procedures: gastroscopy, colonoscopy, vasectomy, scrotal surgery, circumcision or other minor penile surgery, Botox in the bladder, ear tube placement or removal in adults, sinus irrigation, sleep endoscopy, bronchoscopy, removal of metal hardware in lower leg or foot, tooth extraction (including wisdom teeth), or upper forearm orthopedic surgery (not joint replacement).
- You are not staying overnight in the hospital (you are going home the same day).
- Your procedure was planned, not an emergency.

This study looks at what happens right after minimally invasive colon/rectal surgery when people leave the operating room. It may help improve recovery plans and safety for patients like you.
This study compares recovery experiences for men having robot-assisted prostate removal surgery as an outpatient (going home the same day) versus staying overnight in the hospital. It looks at early complications to see which approach might work better for eligible patients.
This study looks at how patients recover at home after a few common surgeries. If you join, you will be visited or called for 30 days after your operation to see how you are doing.
This study tests whether it is safe for patients to go home the same day after robotic colon surgery. If you are healthy enough and have help at home, you may be able to recover there instead of staying in the hospital overnight.
This study tests whether it is safe and better to wake up and breathe on your own while still in the operating room after heart surgery, instead of being kept asleep on a breathing machine in the ICU. If you qualify, this could lead to a faster recovery.
This trial compares two recovery approaches after heart valve surgery: one that wakes you up very quickly in the operating room, and one that's slightly less aggressive. Both use techniques that avoid large chest incisions. The goal is to see which approach gets you breathing on your own sooner and helps you recover faster.
