Outpatient Surgery

Outpatient surgery, or same day surgery, does not require an overnight hospital stay. Whether an operation can be done as outpatient surgery depends on the potential for complications before and after surgery. Your doctor or surgeon will also take into account your age, medical history and overall health.

Recovery From Outpatient Surgery

One of the benefits to outpatient surgery is being able to heal in the comfort of your own home. While you may be well enough to go home, you are by no means capable of caring for yourself or being alone immediately following any surgical procedure. You will need to make arrangements for a loved one or friend to take you home and care for you for the next 24 hours.
