Same-day discharge is as safe as inpatient stay for LSG.

A systematic review and meta-analysis involving 138,001 patients compared same-day discharge (SDD) laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) with inpatient (IP) procedures. Findings revealed SDD resulted in significantly fewer emergency room visits versus IP (odds ratio 1.52). No significant differences were found in readmission (odds ratio 1.48) or reoperation rates (odds ratio 0.62). Overall, SDD LSG demonstrated similar low mortality and morbidity rates, reaffirming its safety compared to traditional inpatient care.
