The volume of ambulatory surgery in urology increases every year. Successful ambulatory care is defined by low hospital (re)admission rates, insuring optimal oncologic and functional outcomes. New medical techniques such as minimally invasive surgical approaches and less side effects of anesthesia have helped the development of ambulatory surgery. Additionally, it is essential to lower the burden of healthcare systems financially, without compromising quality of care. Ambulatory surgery needs a multidisciplinary team involvement, where the general practitioner has a key role.
