This paper systematically reviews the important events and their significance in different stages of the construction of the Chinese discipline system of wound repair, and puts forward the following suggestions for its future development: the disciplinary content should be more normalized, standardized and organized; it is necessary to break through policy restrictions, and establish multidisciplinary integrated management, seamlessly connected treatment model, and integrated combination of therapy and rehabilitation, basing on models and standards of research-oriented hospitals and departments; the application of information technology in the discipline should be strengthened; some other items and problems, such as medical management, medical supervision and medical insurance, need further in-depth research and specific solutions.
Driven by the national policy of “improving quality and efficiency, and serving the people”, day surgery has become a crucial breakthrough in the high-quality development of China’s public hospitals. As an efficient and cost-effective medical service model, day surgery in China has evolved systematically—from initial spontaneous exploration to structured, government-led guidance. Drawing on the experience of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, this article provides a comprehensive overview of day surgery model innovation under China’s unique management framework, covering the evolution of definitions, policy-driven factors, innovative development, distinctive quality control, and expansion of surgical procedures. Chinese day surgery is advancing toward a “five-dimensional” model—characterized by consistent definitions, standardized processes, objective evaluation, information-based management, and regular case selection—reflecting strong national adaptability and institutional innovation.
