[Major ambulatory surgery in otorhinolaryngology].

In the last years we have witnessed a great increase of major ambulatory surgery procedures in our specialty. Some of them are very common as adenoidectomies, tonsillectomies and also the insertion of transtympanic tubes. Nevertheless there is no agreement about which of the procedures should be realized through AMS. The aim of this work is to do a review on the most important features involved in AMS entlightening what kind of operations can be included i such programmes.
