abstract = {Cochlear implant (CI) surgery traditionally required overnight hospital monitoring. However, advances in surgical techniques, anaesthesia, and postoperative care now support safe same-day discharge. In August 2022, Flinders Medical Centre (FMC), South Australia, introduced a same-day discharge pathway in collaboration with My Home Hospital (MHH), an out-of-hospital service. This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and patient satisfaction of the MHH same-day discharge pathway in patients undergoing elective CI surgery.},
