Outpatient Procedures
Outpatient surgery may also be called same-day surgery or ambulatory surgery. Patients arrive at the hospital, have surgery, recover and go home the same day.
- Outpatient surgery has many advantages.
- Convenience- of recovering in your home makes recovery time quicker and easier
- Lower Cost- there are no hospital room charges so therefore costs are lower
- Reduced Stress- this is very true for children who are afraid of being away from home and prefer to recover in their own homeScheduling is
- More Predictable- an outpatient setting can generally stay within a set schedule since procedures are more simple and more routine
- Laparoscopic surgery
- A common minimally invasive procedure, laparoscopic surgery reduces patient discomfort because the surgeon uses several small incisions rather than traditional large ones. Through these “keyhole” incisions, a surgeon inserts slender tubes containing small instruments and cameras for viewing the procedure on a video monitor.
GI Endoscopy/ Colonoscopy
General Surgeon Dr. Ricky Maddox performs Colonoscopies and Endoscopies on patients suffering from a variety of gastrointestinal conditions. The endoscopy procedure allows a physician to examine the lining of the digestive system through the use of a lighted instrument called an endoscope. is an exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum. During a colonoscopy, a long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is inserted into the rectum. A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the entire colon. These outpatient minimally invasive procedures are performed using monitoring equipment available to provide highly accurate screening and diagnosis for patients.
