Although the ambulatory surgery started late in France, it has a unique set of definitions and criteria for defining the scope. In France, the time required for ambulatory surgery is more stringent, and the ambulatory surgery center is open for no more than 12 hours to control the total length of treatment. The patients should enter the ambulatory surgery center in the morning and leave it before the end of afternoon. The development of ambulatory surgery in France is stable and continuous. This article introduces the development of French ambulatory surgery from the origin, development and future of French ambulatory surgery, organizational management and clinical path, in order to promote the standardization of Chinese ambulatory surgery management.
