Groin hernia repair was successfully performed under local anesthesia in all patients, including older patients with cognitive decline. Patients with cognitive decline were not discharged on the day of surgery, although the mean surgery duration and postoperative VAS score did not differ between patients with and without cognitive decline. Prolonged hospitalization in patients with cognitive decline may be related to their advanced age. Further studies are needed to determine the safety of same-day surgery in patients with cognitive decline.
