Transfer to an acute care facility or hospitalisation after discharge is often used as a marker of the complication rate for day‐care surgery. Outpatient gynaecological and urogynaecology procedures have been successfully performed with very few patients (1.6%) requiring inpatient treatment within 72 hours (Kannan 2008). Similar results have been replicated in numerous studies of urology patients.

A multicentre quality improvement project performed in the USA found that 12% of patients undergoing other ambulatory surgery required hospital transfer and 10% required hospitalisation or an emergency room attendance within 48 hours of discharge from the day‐care unit (Davis 2019).
