Results: Four hundred women were included. Day care surgery was possible in 63% of cases. A switch to conventional hospitalization was required for 17% of the women planned for day care surgery. The rate of a second hospitalization in the month following day care procedure was 1% with 0.4% of second surgery for complications. Influencing factors for day care surgery are age, surgeon and time of the surgery. The global satisfaction rate of women was 98%.
