| Short-stay surgery encompasses an entire surgical procedure, from beginning to completion on a same-day basis, without the anticipation of an overnight hospitalization. Typical short-stay surgery patients are individuals who are healthy except for the condition that necessitates their elective surgery and for whom serious complications are highly unlikely. Our unit is an integral part of the surgical, anesthesia and PACU departments. |
