Same-day discharge for anastomotic bariatric surgeries shows promising outcomes

A study involving 208 patients from a high-volume Canadian center assessed early outcomes of same-day discharge (SDD) following various anastomotic metabolic and bariatric surgeries. Results demonstrated low rates of unplanned overnight stays, readmissions, and reinterventions. With a mean patient age of 41.4 years and a preoperative BMI of 41.9 kg/m², these findings suggest that SDD after anastomotic surgeries can be safe and effective when conducted under strict patient selection and proper postoperative care.
