    AbstractAmbulatory surgery is commonplace for a multitude of procedures and a wide range of patients. The types of procedures performed in the ambulatory setting are becoming more work-intensive, and patients with comorbidities make for a challenging environment. For a safe environment for surgery in ambulatory facilities, the complex task of patient selection is necessary. Until an algorithm is created that includes provider, procedure, facility, and patient comorbidites, clinicians must rely on general guidelines rather than precise recommendations.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
