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.

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.
