Ambulatory pediatric surgery has become increasingly common in recent years, with greater numbers of procedures being performed on an outpatient basis. This practice has clear benefits for hospitals and healthcare providers, but patients and families also often prefer outpatient surgery for a variety of reasons. However, maximizing the potential opportunities requires critical attention to patient and procedure selection, as well as anesthetic choice. A subset of outpatient procedures can be performed as single visit procedures, further simplifying the process for families and providers.
近年来，门诊小儿外科手术越来越普遍，越来越多的手术在门诊进行。这种做法对医院和医疗服务提供者有明显的好处，但患者及其家属也常常因各种原因更喜欢门诊手术。然而，要充分利用潜在机会，就需要密切关注患者和手术的选择，以及麻醉方式的选择。一部分门诊手术可以作为单次就诊手术来进行，这进一步简化了家庭和医疗服务提供者的流程。
