Ambulatory Surgery

Ambulatory surgery, also known as outpatient surgery, is a type of medical procedure where patients can undergo surgery and go home on the same day, rather than being admitted to a hospital overnight. This approach typically involves less complex procedures and allows for quicker recovery, minimal hospital stays, and lower costs. Common examples include minor orthopedic surgeries, cosmetic procedures, and some diagnostic surgeries. Patients often receive local or regional anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, ensuring a faster return to normal activities. Ambulatory surgery combines convenience and efficiency while maintaining high standards of safety and care.
