The term "same-day surgery" refers to certain surgical procedures after which the patient is discharged on the same day or, at the latest, the following morning.
In practice, admission to the hospital usually begins at 7 a.m.; after the necessary preparations, the surgical procedure is performed, and the patient is discharged in the afternoon of the same day, or by the following morning at the latest—that is, within 24 hours at most.
Types of services
These procedures typically involve hernia repair, hemorrhoid surgery, the removal of benign tumors, gallbladder surgery, appendectomy, or the removal of skin and subcutaneous lesions.
The referring physician will inform you during your consultation whether this type of procedure and hospitalization is appropriate for you. The determining factor is not only the type of procedure, but also your underlying medical conditions.
Benefits for the patient
The advantages of same-day surgery include less stress for the patient, more time to prepare for the procedure at home, and a quicker return home.
Don't be afraid to ask your doctor
Please ask us during your visit whether the procedure is suitable for same-day surgery. If possible, we will be happy to accommodate your request. In the event that more frequent postoperative checkups or more intensive treatment for postoperative pain is required, we can arrange for home-care services to be provided in your home.
