What is a Day Surgery Center?

A Day Surgery Center is an advanced medical facility that allows patients to undergo surgical procedures and be discharged on the same day without the need for an overnight stay. These procedures are performed following the highest medical safety standards, ensuring high-quality care for our patients.

Day surgery centers offer a wide range of procedures across various medical specialties, including:
  • General Surgery: Uncomplicated appendectomy, inguinal and umbilical hernia repair, and excision of sebaceous cysts and superficial tumors.
  • ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) Surgery: Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, septoplasty (deviated septum correction), and myringotomy tube insertion (ear tubes).
  • Orthopedic and Joint Surgery: Diagnostic and therapeutic knee and shoulder arthroscopy, tendon repair (including carpal tunnel release), and management of simple fractures.
  • Urology: Laser and endoscopic lithotripsy (stone crushing) and prostate biopsies.
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB-GYN): Diagnostic hysteroscopy, excision of simple ovarian cysts and polyps, and D&C (Dilation and Curettage) procedures.
  • Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery): Vision correction surgeries (LASIK / Femto-LASIK), cataract removal, and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Localized fat grafting, scar and burn contracture revision, and select rhinoplasty and otoplasty procedures.
