The aim of this work was to compare outcomes of patients discharged directly from the postanaesthesia care unit at 6\u20138\u2009h postsurgery to assess the feasibility of even earlier discharges.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>We performed a retrospective observational study of all patients undergoing intestinal resection with primary anastomosis by a single surgeon at an academic centre over a 2\u2010year period. Patients were divided into three groups: an early discharge group (discharged 6\u20138\u2009h postsurgery), an ambulatory group (discharged at 8\u201324\u2009h) and an inpatient group. Primary outcomes were 30\u2010day readmission, reoperation, complications and death. Data were analysed using Kruskall\u2013Wallis and ANOVA tests.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Over a 2\u2010year period, 229 patients underwent resection for uncomplicated colorectal conditions. Nineteen patients (8%) were discharged within 8\u2009h, 66 (29%) at 8\u201324\u2009h and 144 (63%) at &gt;24\u2009h. There were no differences in 30\u2010day readmissions, reoperations or deaths among the three groups. Those discharged at 8\u2009h had shorter operative times and less blood loss. Admitted patients were more likely to require postoperative transfusions, but there were no differences among the groups in any other
