BACKGROUND: Day-case laparoscopic fundoplication for @entity354 was introduced in January 1997. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Inclusion criteria were ASA grade 1-2, living within 30 minutes by car from the hospital, or staying over in the @entity1 hotel the first night, with company. Initially, only selected @entity1 were offered day-case treatment; later it was adopted as routine. The @entity1 underwent general intravenous anaesthesia with @entity1875 and @entity1937 and were given prophylaxis against @entity282 and @entity390 . The surgical procedure was Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication or semifundoplication. RESULTS: 83 @entity1 were included. Ten @entity1 were admitted, 73 (88%) were discharged as planned 3-8 hours after the operation. Eight @entity1 (10%) were readmitted; one of them underwent reoperation for @entity39 of the gastric fundus. Eight @entity1 visited the outpatient department without need for readmission. At seven-day follow-up, 55 discharged @entity1 (75%) were satisfied with the day-case treatment, nine (12%) were indifferent, and nine (12%) were dissatisfied, mostly because of @entity158 . If offered a similar operation in the future, 50 @entity1 (68%) would have preferred and 11 (15%) would have accepted day-case treatment; 12 (16%) would not. INTERPRETATION: Outpatient laparoscopic fundoplication is safe and well tolerated by the majority of @entity1 .
