DAY
CARE SURGERIES
The
concept of day care surgery is not new. The ancient doctor’s have
used this method, which have been re-presented as a modern day
innovation, and now it has come to stay.
What
is Day Care or Ambulatory Surgery ?
Discharged
of the patient on the same day of surgery, is termed as Day Care
Surgery. It also means that the patient is operated as an out
patient, that he is not admitted over night, and hence ambulatory.
He walks in and walks out on the same day of his procedure.
What
about anesthesia?
Most
of the surgeries and other procedures are done under local
anesthesia and mild sedation, therefore, its effect wears out within
a few hours, and you are able to function normally.
What
types of surgeries are possible ?
Procedure
like Endoscopies, Excision biopsies, Lipoma, Cysts, Breast Lumps,
Hernias, Hydrocele, Varicocele, Vasectomy, Auroplasty, Piles,
Fissure-in-ano, Fistula-in-ano, Pilonidal sinus etc. are easily and
comfortable done as a day procedure.
What
are the advantage of this type of surgery ?
The
patient avoids hospitalization and its associated problems, like
hassle of the admission and discharge procedures, avoids hospital
acquired infection and can recover in the familiar and comfortable
surroundings of his home and family, without inconveniencing anyone.
Also, it significantly cuts down the cost of the whole treatment.
As
the procedure is done under local anesthesia, it does away with the
complications of general or spinal anesthesia, and it can safely be
done in cases where general anesthesia is contraindicated.
What
are disadvantages ?
In
some cases, there can be pain, requiring injectable painkillers or
bleeding, which may require medical attention. But, these are rare,
and the post-operation instructions given to you at the time of
discharge, will help you to prevent and take care of the situation.
