Abstract:
The growing success as well as the wide recognition of the Out Patient Surgery Centers as a medical entity in the past few years have given a rather substantial contribution towards the further development of ambulatory surgical care.
In this fashion, the "Liga de Cirurgia Ambulatorial" represents a new trend in the medical training field proportionating medical students skills to attend the community's demands.
A total of 169 outpatient surgeries were performed by 12 medical students between June 1986 and March 1987 under the coordination and supervision of assistant professor of the "3a Clínica Cirúrgica do Hospital de Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo".
No Complications took place during the surgical procedure. As many as 82,4% of all operated patients had a complete follow up before definitive dismissal.
Only two cases out of a total of twenty with different postoperative complications were infectious.
