A crosswise, analytical and observational study was performed on 120 patients that underwent ambulatory major surgery in the maxillofacial surgery department of "Manuel Ascunce" Provincial Teaching Clinical and Surgical Hospital in Camaguey from January 1998 to December 1999. The objective was to evaluate the results of these complex interventions. Males prevailed (59,2%) and this type of surgery was mostly applied in the 25-34y age group. The most frequent interventions were the setting of orbito-zygomatic and nasal fractures, sinus surgery and corrective rhinoplasty. The surgical and anesthetic procedures were satisfactory with little post-operative complications no related to them. Ambulatory major surgery offered a high level of satisfaction to the patients. The institution saved 61 757.04 pesos, which showed that this modality should be more applied in our institution.Downloads
