With years of development, day surgery (ambulatory surgery), for its efficiency, safety, and economic benefits, has been widely carried out in countries with advanced medical technologies. As a result of the increasingly intensive use of the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in all surgical fields in recent years, ERAS protocols have also been incorporated into the thyroid surgery practice, with remarkable results achieved. Furthermore, the application of various novel techniques in thyroid surgery also improves surgical safety and reduces the incidence of postoperative complications. Day surgery refers to the planned operation or operation of the patient within 1 day (24 hours); Special cases need to be delayed in hospital due to their condition, and the maximum length of hospitalization shall not exceed 48 hours. The benefits of day thyroid surgery are mainly reflected in: (1) improving patient experience and accelerating postoperative rehabilitation; (2) shorten the waiting time and hospitalization time, and improve the efficiency of the hospital; (3) reducing the chance of hospital-acquired infection; (4) reducing medical expenses and reduce social and family burdens. Its effectiveness and safety have been confirmed by many papers.
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the safety of day thyroid surgery and the role of new technologies and surgical methods in promoting the development of day thyroid surgery, so as to further promote the occurrence and development of day surgery in large hospitals. We also welcome articles outlining that day surgery will reduce the average length of stay and waiting time before admission, as well as the safety of day surgery. We are also happy to listen to the application of new technologies and new surgical methods in day thyroid surgery and the improvement of surgical methods. At present, there are a few studies on postoperative follow-up of daytime surgery, and we hope to see more such studies. The current strategy and future direction of day thyroid surgery are further discussed.
We welcome different types of articles including original articles, hypotheses and theory, technology, as well as reviews and mini-reviews. Within this research frame, submissions are encouraged to focus on the following themes:
• Admission criteria and surgical indications for daytime surgery
• Safety and effectiveness of day surgery
• Postoperative complications of day thyroid surgery
• Postoperative follow-up of patients with day thyroid surgery
• Discharge indications of day thyroid surgery
• The application of new technologies in day thyroid surgery
• Perioperative patient management of patients undergoing day surgery
• New methods in day thyroid surgery, especially endoscopy and robot
• Improve patient satisfaction and further reduce medical costs
