Study population: Patient with an indication for tri-pedicular hemorrhoidectomy, operated on between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020.

Brief summary: Hemorrhoidal disease is a frequent and disabling condition that is treated medically and surgically. Tri-pedicular hemorrhoidectomy is the most commonly used surgical technique in France. Due to the restrictive postoperative course (pain, secondary risk of bleeding, asthenia, local care several times a day, transit disorders, urinary disorders, nausea/vomiting), conventional hospitalization was preferred to outpatient surgery until 2015 in our department. The motivation to practice ambulatory surgery is in order to satisfy the patients on the one hand and to improve the economic cost of the management on the other hand. According to the HAS, this is a national priority in order to optimize the supply of care. However, situations such as the absence of an accompanying person, the presence of significant co-morbidities or the use of treatment modifying haemostasis do not allow such surgery to be performed on an outpatient basis. Thanks to the implementation of a dedicated care pathway, outpatient tri-pedicular hemorrhoidectomy at the Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group has increased from less than 5% in 2015 to more than 80% in 2021. Outpatient care remains a key criterion for the patient in the context of surgical management.

The objective of this work is to evaluate patient satisfaction with this type of care pathway and to identify the factors associated with dissatisfaction with outpatient care. The secondary objectives are to determine the associated factors of non-satisfaction, the profile of patients for whom outpatient care would not be desirable, to determine the actions to be taken to ensure that outpatient care is provided in the best possible way, to homogenize outpatient care within the department (oral information and written support before the operation, anticipation of postoperative measures (prescriptions and postoperative appointments given during the pre-operative consultation), postoperative liaison file given to the patient on discharge).
