Some complex surgical procedures allow for day surgery benefited from the advancement of the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Shanghai Chest Hospital has set up thoracic day surgery ward incorporating some lung tumor surgeries into day surgery. Through process innovation, model innovation and management innovation, relying on the full-process closed-loop day surgery management system, the day surgery ward runs efficiently. It can help effectively alleviate the difficulty of admission and operation, and improve hospital operation efficiency as well as reduce the economic burden of disease. At the same time, we hope to explore an innovative development path for the possibility of day surgery in complex thoracic surgery, and create a new mode of day surgery that can be replicated and promoted.
