**5.3 Contra-indications of outpatient surgery**

It is not advisable always for outpatient surgery as there are certain limitations which must be considered. Uncontrolled hypertension, severe respiratory disorders, smoking, obesity is considered the major contraindications for daycare surgery. The surgeons often suggest such patients go for elective surgeries which is better in such high-risk patients. In any kind of surgery, such patients will be recovered in a better way without confronting any of the complications. Whether it is a traditional or elective or a daycare surgery, proper care should be taken for such patients. Meticulous assessment to rule out significant co-morbidity is the key factor for excluding the cases unfit for the day care surgery.
