Gemeinschaftspraxis für Kinderchirurgie und Anästhesie, Fällanden ZH.

The authors refer about their experience in ambulatory pediatric surgery performed in pediatric clinics or in their own practice. Indications are listed, conditions, advantages and disadvantages are discussed. 562 operations were completed from February 1991 to January 1992, 181 (32%) under practice conditions with an experienced anesthesiologist. No complications had to be reported, and no patient was hospitalized due to surgical or anesthetic complications. But indications for ambulatory surgery have to be strictly noted, and only children in excellent health should be anesthesized. The decision about operability has to be made by the anesthesiologist in charge.
