Outpatient & Same Day Surgery
Many minor surgical procedures our patients require are handled on an outpatient basis for their convenience.
Same Day Surgery
Same day surgery (SDS) refers to any surgical procedure for which a patient is admitted, has surgery and is dismissed within the same day. Pre-admission testing is usually conducted ahead of time and includes such things as lab tests or X-rays requested by the attending physician. The patient discusses pending surgical procedures with the pre-admission testing nurse and anesthesiologist.
Common SDS procedures include:
- Laparascopic procedures such as gallbladder, hernia repair and appendectomy
- Colonoscopy
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- Urological Surgery
- Gynecological Surgery
- Carpal tunnel surgery
- Ear surgery
- Breast biopsies
- Podiatric surgeries
- Minor plastic surgeries
- Other types of minor surgeries
In the post-operative recovery unit, patients are closely monitored and assisted in getting back on their feet again so they can return home.
