day surgery, also known as ambulatory surgery or outpatient surgery, involves undergoing a medical procedure or surgery and being discharged on the same day without the need for an overnight hospital stay. Patients arrive at the healthcare facility on the day of the surgery, recover after the procedure, and are allowed to go home once they have sufficiently recovered and there are no significant complications. Day surgery is commonly performed for various minor surgeries and diagnostic procedures, offering advantages such as reduced hospital costs, quicker recovery times, and decreased risk of hospital-acquired infections. Patients must meet specific criteria for safe discharge and should follow pre-operative and post-operative instructions provided by their healthcare team to ensure a successful outcome and smooth recovery at home.
