Abstract
Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic forced difficult decisions onto hospitals providing oncology surgery. Due to the reduction in bed availability, many centres changed mastectomies to day case procedures. This continued post-covid, with studies showing similar outcomes and minimal readmissions. However, few evaluations looked at the patient experience or the holistic suitability of recovery at home.
