Procedure Selection
In pushing the boundaries of outpatient surgery, there are some surgeries that should be performed in a hospital setting because of our risk factors, underlying health, or other considerations which may increase risk.
Surgical Errors
Surgery is surgery regardless if it is in a hospital or an outpatient center. You are put at risk for the same surgical errors that occur in hospitals, but you are not provided the same personnel or equipment to respond to these errors.
Discharge
We are usually heading home the same day following surgery, but sometimes we are not adequately monitored and not ready to go home. This premature discharge can cause devastating consequences.
