Sumario:A postal questionnaire was used to assess patient compliance with instructions, post-operative sequelae and general practitioner workload resulting from the day case unit of Daisy Hill Hospital, Newry. Compliance with instructions was good. There was little post-operative pain but there was a high incidence of other side effects. Few patients needed to see their general practitioner in the week following surgery.
