Day Care Surgery
Päiväkirurgia on suunnitelmallista leikkaustoimintaa. Potilas saapuu sairaalaan leikkauspäivän aamuna ja hänet kotiutetaan leikkauksen jälkeen samana päivänä.
Day care surgery is suitable for most patients and can be applied to an increasing number of procedures. The preparation, surgery, and recovery after the surgery typically take 4-6 hours.
At our hospital, approximately 4,000 procedures are performed annually as day care surgeries across all specialties.
