Objective  To explore the safety and feasibility of day surgery program of surgical treatment of mild to moderate gluteal muscle contracture. Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of the patients who received invasive surgery to release gluteal muscle contracture in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between July 2021 and July 2022. Postoperative telephone follow-up was conducted on the 2nd, 3rd, and 30th day after surgery. The basic conditions, surgery duration, intraoperative blood loss, anesthesia duration, pain score 6 h after surgery, hospitalization expenses, postoperative complications and patient satisfaction were observed. Results  A total of 44 patients, 17 males and 27 females, aged 18-51 years with a median age of 30.5 years, diagnosed as bilateral mild to moderate gluteal muscle contracture, were included in this study. All patients except one with unilateral surgery were successfully finished the bilateral surgeries and discharged as planned. The mean surgery duration was (71±13) min, intraoperative blood loss was (20±17) mL, anesthesia duration was (118±21) min. All patients complained mild pain or no pain (Numerical Rating Scale score≤3) except one patient received pain rescue (Numerical Rating Scale score=5) 6 h after surgery. The average hospitalization expenses was (10021.55±1142.10) yuan. Three patients complained the poor wound healing. All patients replied a normal life and work with a good satisfaction and without any severe complications by telephone follow up on the 30th day postoperatively. Conclusion  Surgical treatment of mild to moderate gluteal muscle contracture is safe, effective and feasible in the day surgery mode.
