[Feasibility and accuracy of day surgery: Review of 396 operated breast cancer patients].

CONCLUSION: Postoperative complication and readmissions are very low (<5%) after breast ambulatory surgery. This confirms its feasibility and safety in a breast cancer center. Adaptating anaesthetic methods to ambulatory care and preparing patient going home with an axillary drain are necessary to reduce rate of conversion to hospitalisation.
