Topic overview
Sabol et al [1]. evaluated nurse-led discharge pathways for pediatric day-case laparoscopic upper GI surgery cholecystectomy, fundoplication, and Heller myotomy in a single-centre cohort. No 30-day readmissions, nearly half discharged early. For procedures that had defaulted to overnight admission, these outcomes support the need to re-evaluate the default duration.
