Ambulatory surgery has been evolving and encompassing more complex surgical procedures every day. Even laparoscopic cholecystectomy, currently considered the surgery of choice for the treatment of biliary pathology, can be performed on an ambulatory basis thanks to advances in surgical and anesthetic techniques. Objective. To determine the feasibility and acceptance of the procedure in outpatient practice by reviewing the current literature on existing outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy protocols. Methodology. A systematic review of the literature was carried out, based on the PRISMA statement to adjust the information obtained in the different scientific bases available using the descriptors related to ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy and day surgery focusing on those records on the subject, its conceptualization and implementation. In this way, 118 records were identified in the different databases consulted. After the application of inclusion criteria, 56 articles were separated from which 11 records were finally used for the review. Conclusion. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and effective, as long as the correct staging of the patient to be benefited is performed. There is no significant difference between the different anesthetics used during the procedure, the subdermal anesthetic does not improve postoperative pain recovery time. Protocolized postoperative assessment is vital for hospital discharge.
