DOI: https://doi.org/Ambulatory anesthesia has become an integral component of modern perioperative care, paralleling the rapid global expansion of outpatient surgical practices. The shift from traditional inpatient surgery to same-day discharge procedures has been driven by advances in anesthetic agents, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and enhanced recovery protocols. These developments have made it possible to perform a wide variety of surgical procedures in ambulatory settings while maintaining high standards of safety and efficiency. Patient selection is a critical factor in determining the success of ambulatory anesthesia, as careful evaluation of comorbidities, functional status, and perioperative risk helps optimize outcomes and resource utilization (1).
