چکیده
Results: In 1996 and 2006, a total of 176 305 (95% CI, 146 954-205 657; mean [SD] age, 37 [26] years) and 189 930 (95% CI, 135 827-244 003; mean [SD] age, 45 [22] years) patients, respectively, underwent ambulatory laryngopharyngeal surgery. No significant changes were noted in the number, demographics, and outcomes of the patients during the 10-year period. The patients were more likely to be men aged 45 to 64 years and to have their surgery performed in a hospital under general anesthesia. The unexpected admission rate after laryngopharyngeal surgery was less than 4%. While minor complications were present in approximately 9% of all surgeries, no serious adverse events occurred in this representative population.
