| As we practice all modern techniques like laparoscopy (Minimal access surgery or key hole surgery) for diagnostic as well as therapeutic purposes patient can be discharged the very same day.
More than 70% of all surgeries performed at Shree Hospital are day surgery or morning admissions. Day surgery patients arrive in the Surgical Day Care Center on the day of surgery and are discharged to home later that same day. Morning admission patients also arrive on the day of surgery but are admitted to the Hospital postoperatively for overnight care. How is day surgery different from inpatient surgery?
Day or ambulatory surgery differs from inpatient surgery in the following ways:
Healthier patients do not always require hospitalization.
New technology and surgical techniques allow for faster, less invasive surgery.
New anesthetics and pain control methods allow for a smooth and rapid recovery.
A family member or close friend may be with the patient to offer comfort and support in the postoperative ward. Patients can relax and rest at home following surgery, returning to normal activities more quickly. |
