Its purpose is to analyse the number of surgical procedures, the type of cutaneous processes treated and the kind of surgical intervention and anaesthesia used. We also assessed the percentage of cancellations, postsurgical hospital admission and postsurgical complications. Clinicopathological correlation and complete tumour removal were also evaluated.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Material and methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> Our clinical experience of major surgery of outpatients at the dermatology department of the Hospital Juan Canalejo in A Coru\u00f1a (Spain), analysing 565 patients in a non\u2010randomized pilot study running from January to December 2003, is presented.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Six hundred and forty\u2010four surgical procedures were performed on a total of 565 patients. The three main cutaneous processes treated were basal cell carcinoma (240), squamous cell carcinoma (117) and melanoma (77). The most frequent type of procedure was direct closure (346), followed by exeresis and flap (133) and partial\u2010 or full\u2010thickness skin graft (29), nail apparatus surgery (56) and lip surgery (33). Twelve patients were admitted to hospital after surgery owing to the complexity of their operations or to complications arising during surgery. Five hundred and fifty\u2010three patients were discharged after being kept under observation for a few hours. Seventeen patients (3%) suffered complications following surgery, which consisted of partial implant failure (six cases), infection of the surgical wound (six cases), intense pain (four cases) and haemorrhage (one case). There was a good clinicopathological correlation in 90.78% of non\u2010melanoma skin cancers, of which 92.03% were completely removed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> Medium and high complexity operations for dermatological processes, traditionally performed on hospitalized patients, can be conducted on an outpatient basis. This allows hospitalization costs and waiting lists to be reduced and affords the possibility of achieving better morbidity rates and medical care than in the standard hospital setting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.01789.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,11]],"date-time":"2006-10-11T09:26:05Z","timestamp":1160558765000},"page":"1271-1276","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Outpatient dermatology major surgery: a 1\u2010year experience in a Spanish tertiary hospital"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"B","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez\u2010Jorge","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Pe\u00f1a\u2010Penabad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Vieira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Paradela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Rodr\u00edguez\u2010Lozano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez\u2010Entralgo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Garc\u00eda\u2010Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Fonseca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","first-page":"256","article-title":"La cirug\u00eda ambulatoria en una unidad aut\u00f3noma integrada a un hospital.
