Objective To explore the feasibility and the security of one-day stay ward in stripping surgery of saphenous vein varicosity. Methods Two hundred and eighty two patients treated in our hospital in 2011 were enrolled in this study， according to the operation mode， these patients were divided into 2 groups， ninety patients in one-day stay ward group and one hundred and ninety two patients in in-patient group. Their clinical features and medical operation indexs（included preoperative waiting time， duration of hospital stay， and medical cost）were retrospectively analyzed. Results There was no statistical differences on clinical features between the two groups. But compared with in-patient group， the preoperative waiting time， duration of hospital stay， and medical cost were shorter or lower in one-day stay ward group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions The one-day stay ward operation mode can decrease preoperative waiting time， duration of hospital stay and medical cost significantly， and it also can ensure the safety of clinical treatment. So it’s worthy in the clinical promotion.
