One-day surgery can save resources and is also usually more comfortable for the patient. Few years ago, one-day surgery was not common in Slovakia but nowadays almost a third of all interventions are performed by one-day surgery. According to President of the Slovak Association of One-day Surgery Eva Vidová, there are still shortcomings in some specializations, for instance urology. As she noticed, hospitals are trying to keep their beds, although, many of them are redundant.
