After nearly 30 years of localized development of day surgery in China, in order to enable more patients to enjoy high-quality and affordable day surgery medical services, some medical institutions have begun to try same-day surgery, which means the patient can be operated and discharged within the same workday. With the help of the national three-level diagnosis and treatment service model, it provides continuous medical services and guarantees for day surgery patients through the integration of “hospital-community”. This article first introduces the development history of day surgery, summarizes the definitions and requirements of day surgery in different countries or academic associations, and finally focuses on same-day surgery in China, aims to provide some ideas for the future development of day surgery in China.
