Overview

Audit reveals improved day-case rates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients, indicating the success of operational adjustments.

Key Points

  • A 9 PM extension of the day surgery unit's hours increased the day-case rate from 64% to 73%.
  • The modification of the local anaesthetic protocol improved postoperative pain control among patients.
  • The audit highlighted unplanned admissions' primary causes as early DSU closing and post-operative pain management.
  • Findings suggest resource utilization can be optimized by improving day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy rates.
