Majority of urologic surgical services are already outpatient Many urologic procedures are high volume, short duration and low cost Increasing emphasis on movement of site of service for surgical cases from hospitals and insurance carriers to ASCs There are still some case types where patients are traditionally admitted or placed in extended recovery status that can be converted to strictly outpatient status and would be suitable for an ASC Potential core of fee-for-service case types (microsurgery, aesthetics, prosthetics, etc.) Increasing Population of Those Aged 65 and Over As of 2018, it was estimated that there were 51 million persons aged 65 and over (15.63% of total population) By 2030, it is expected that there will be 72.1 million persons aged 65 and over National ASC Statistics - 2017 Urology cases represented 6% of total case mix for ASCs Urology cases were 4th in median net revenue per case (approximately $2,400) – behind Orthopedics, ENT and Podiatry Urology comprised 3% of single specialty ASCs (5th behind -

Airway Obstruction After Biopsy by Cervical Mediastinoscopy in a Patient with a Mediastinal Mass -A Case Report
Korean J Anesthesiol 2012 July 63(1): 65-67 Case Report http://dx.doi.org/10.4097/kjae.2012.63.1.65 Airway obstruction after biopsy by cervical mediastinoscopy in a patient with a mediastinal mass -A case report- Yong-Cheol Lee2, Sang-Jin Park1, and In-seong Kim1 Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, 1College of Medicine, Yeungnam University, 2School of Medicine, Keimyung University, Daegu, Korea Biopsy, using mediastinoscopy is commonly employed for accurate histologic diagnosis of a mediastinal mass. However, since the mass is not removed during the procedure, it may cause compression of vital structures such as major airways, the heart, the pulmonary artery, and the superior vena cava after surgery. We observed a case of a 66-year-old man with a mediastinal mass that caused severe airway obstruction during recovery from anesthesia following mediastinoscopic biopsy, probably caused by upper airway edema which seemed to originate from compression of the superior vena cava. Therefore, we suggest that unexpected airway obstruction in a patient with a mediastinal mass can be due to superior vena cava compression.

Mediastinoscopy: a Clinical Evaluation of 400 Consecutive Cases
Thorax: first published as 10.1136/thx.24.5.585 on 1 September 1969. Downloaded from Thorax (1969), 24, 585. Mediastinoscopy: A clinical evaluation of 400 consecutive cases C. L. SARIN1 AND H. C. NOHL-OSER From the Thoracic Surgical Unit, Harefield Hospital, Harefield, Middlesex Mediastinoscopy was carried out in 400 cases, including 296 of bronchogenic carcinoma. At the time of presentation the new growth had already spread to involve the mediastinal lymph nodes in slightly more than 50% of these. The incidence of involvement was 76% in oat-cell and 35% in squamous-cell carcinoma. Non-resectability at thoracotomy was encountered in seven out of 120 patients. We advocate this procedure in every case of bronchogenic carcinoma which is considered operable on other counts. In patients in whom the mediastinal lymph nodes are invaded by growth we prefer radical radiotherapy to surgery, as the long-term survival of the two methods is comparable. This procedure may be the only source of positive histological proof of diagnosis, not only in carcinoma but in other types of intrathoracic disease. We believe that this procedure reduces the number of unnecessary exploratory thoracotomies. Carlens (1959) introduced diagnostic exploration sible. Biopsy in such cases can be obtained from tissues inside the thoracic inlet. in the of the superior mediastinum.
