Major ear surgery can be safely performed on a day case basis (i.e. six hour stay). This study aimed to ascertain whether patients had the same level of satisfaction and speed of recovery following major ear surgery when it was performed as a day case compared with performance as an in-patient procedure.
A cross-sectional survey, by postal questionnaire, of patient satisfaction with day case and in-patient major ear surgery was carried out with 158 patients. Comparisons were made between the responses of the two groups.
The response rate was 71 per cent. Patients returned to work significantly sooner following day surgery (p < 0.025) but felt their operation to be of significantly more benefit following in-patient surgery (p < 0.05).
Patient satisfaction following day case major ear surgery is as good as that following in-patient surgery. This has supported the expansion of this service in our unit.
耳部大手术可在日间手术模式下安全进行（即术后留院观察6小时）。本研究旨在确定与住院手术相比，耳部大手术采用日间手术模式时，患者的满意度和恢复速度是否相同。
通过邮寄问卷对158例患者进行了一项关于日间手术和住院耳部大手术患者满意度的横断面调查。对两组患者的回答进行了比较。
回复率为71%。日间手术后患者恢复工作的时间明显更早（p < 0.025），但患者感觉住院手术后手术带来的益处明显更多（p < 0.05）。
日间耳部大手术后患者的满意度与住院手术后相当。这为我们科室扩大这项服务提供了支持。
