Same-Day Surgery refers to medical procedures that allow patients to undergo surgery and return home on the same day, rather than staying overnight in a hospital. This type of surgery is typically performed in specialized facilities or outpatient centers, where patients can receive care in a more comfortable and efficient environment.
Common procedures include arthroscopy, gallbladder removal, and knee surgery. Patients are usually given anesthesia and monitored closely during and after the procedure. Once they recover from the anesthesia and meet specific criteria, they can go home, often with instructions for post-operative care.
