Abstract:
:A randomized controlled trial has been conducted into the effects of discharging patients from hospital either at 48 h or 6-7 days after operation for inguinal hernia or varicose veins. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of major postoperative complications between the two lengths of stay for either of the conditions studied. Similarly there was no difference between the two groups of hernia patients in relation to eventual recurrences.
