A wide range of breast procedures, including many oncoplastic surgeries, can be delivered as a day case with good clinical outcomes and excellent patient experience. Back
Despite these benefits, significant variation in day surgery performance persists nationally, usually, because of misperceptions that such practice is unsafe or requires complicated service reconfiguration.
“A growing range of breast procedures—including many oncoplastic operations—can now be safely delivered as day cases, providing excellent clinical outcomes alongside an improved patient experience. Despite this, significant variation still exists across the UK, meaning many organisations have opportunities to increase day case rates and improve pathways. "While some providers consistently deliver high rates of day case surgery (for example, 25 providers now meet the 75% British Association of Day Surgery (BADS) benchmark for day case mastectomy without reconstruction, while 33 providers perform over half their implant reconstructions as a day case), others remain well below the benchmarks.”
