Objective To explore and analyze the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery under general anesthesia in adults．Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of patients admitted to a hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 who underwent laparoscopic hernia repair surgery under general anesthesia．The patients were divided into day surgery group and traditional surgery group based on their hospitalization surgery mode．The daytime surgery group underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia in the daytime surgery mode,while the traditional surgery group underwent elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia in the traditional admission mode．The feasibility（hospitalization duration,hospitalization cost,patient satisfaction）and safety（surgery duration,surgical bleeding volume,incidence of surgical complications）of the two groups were compared and analyzed．Results A total of 199 cases were enrolled,with 52 cases（26.1%）in the day surgery group and 147 cases（73.9%）in the traditional surgery group．Compared with the traditional surgery group,the daytime surgery group showed a decrease in length of hospital stay,preoperative hospital stay,and postoperative hospital stay,while the satisfaction score increased,and the difference was statistically significant（P<0.05）．There was no difference（P>0.05）between the two groups in terms of surgical costs,total hospitalization costs,postoperative 24-hour pain scores,surgical time,surgical bleeding volume,and incidence of surgical complications．Conclusion sLaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia during the day for adults is safe and effective．
