The history of early ambulation is described, the earliest known report being in 1899. Early ambulation is distinguished from immediate ambulation. Immediate ambulation in proctologic procedures has been stressed since 1946 (with the publication of Ambulatory Proctology (4) ). The interest in immediate ambulation after proctologic surgery has increased tremendously, and the results are overwhelmingly favorable.
