Authors' recommendations: Vaginal wall prolapse surgery is an obvious option for outpatient treatment. We used local anesthesia, but the same procedure may also be possible to undertake with spinal or general anesthesia. The advantages in the reorganization are greatest in relation to the effects on the technology and costs, while the two treatment regimes are broadly similar seen from the patient's point of view. As operation for vaginal wall prolapse is one of the most common operations at gynecological departments substantial savings can be made. Conversion to outpatient treatment affects big parts of the organization. Future changeover to outpatient treatment need to be succeeded by a thorough description of the existing organization, and a model for the new regime has to be chosen.
