Objective  To explore the application effect of same-day surgery mode in adult patients with inguinal hernia repair under enhanced recovery after surgery mode. Methods  The perioperative data of adults undergoing inguinal hernia repair in the Day Surgery Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University between August 2020 and March 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. The adult patients with inguinal hernia repair who received routine daytime surgery were taken as the control group (routine group), and the adult patients with inguinal hernia repair who received same-day surgery were selected as the trial group (same-day group). The differences in safety, cost and patient experience between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results  A total of 319 patients were included, including 152 in the routine group and 167 in the same-day group. There was no significant difference in gender, education level, occupation and hernia ring diameter between the two groups (P>0.05). The age of the patients in the same-day group was older than that in the routine group [(49.49±12.88) vs. (46.41±14.12) years, P<0.05]. The hernia position of the two groups was mostly on the right side, but there was a difference in the hernia position (P<0.05). In terms of safety indicators, the majority of patients in the two groups used local anesthesia. The proportion of local anesthesia (98.2% vs. 76.3%), the amount of intraoperative bleeding [2.8 (2.0, 5.0) vs. 1.3 (0.0, 5.0) mL] in the same-day group were higher than those in the routine group, and the operation time [25.2 (20.0, 33.0) vs. 32.3 (26.0, 40.7) min] in the same-day group was shorter than that in the routine group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the time of getting out of bed and the complications rate on the 3rd and 28th days after operation (P>0.05). There were no intraoperative complications in both groups. In terms of cost indicators, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the hospitalization cost (P>0.05). The surgery cost of the same-day group was higher than that of the routine group [1472.0 (1438.1, 1614.6) vs. 1450.3 (1428.1, 1438.1) yuan, P<0.05]. The drug cost [109.2 (81.3, 138.7) vs. 255.8 (127.0, 261.6) yuan] and the total medical cost [8418.5 (8207.4, 9129.9) vs. 8912.1 (8325.9, 9177.9) yuan] in the same-day group were lower than those in the routine group (P<0.05). In terms of patient experience indicators, the postoperative pain score [0.3 (0.0, 1.0) vs. 0.2 (0.0, 0.0)] and satisfaction score [3.3 (3.0, 4.0) vs. 3.0 (3.0, 3.0)] of the same-day group were higher than those of the routine group (P<0.05). Conclusion  Both the same-day surgery mode and the routine surgery mode of adult patients with inguinal hernia repair have high safety, but the same-day surgery mode is more economical and patient satisfaction is higher than the routine surgery mode, which suggest that the same-day surgery mode of adult patients with inguinal hernia repair under enhanced recovery after surgery mode is feasible, safe and economic, and further optimizes and improves the content and quality of daytime surgical medical services.
