When “Outpatient” Becomes “Inpatient”: Predictors of Failure of Same-Day Discharge After Robotic Single-Port Urologic Surgery

Key Points

• To identify the factors influencing the failure of same-day discharge (SDD) after robotic single-port urologic surgery.
• Analyze clinical and logistical factors related to SDD failure.
• Evaluate patient selection protocols.
• Assess perioperative management strategies.
• Approximately 20% of patients scheduled for outpatient surgery required admission.
• Both clinical and logistical factors significantly impacted SDD success.
• Enhanced patient selection and management could improve SDD rates.
