Mostly, daycare surgeries involve a lot of medical departments. It ranges from Pediatrics to elderly people. Some of them include the general surgery department, ENT, Orthopedics, Gynaecology, Cardiovascular department, Neurology and more. The most common procedures that are done in general surgery include thyroid cysts, benign swellings in the neck, submandibular glands, superficial parotidectomy and others.

If there are small cysts anywhere in the body, they can be removed through daycare surgeries. The daycare surgeries will be involved in any of the aforementioned departments. These kinds of surgeries can be done to people right from the kids to adults.

There are several benefits of daycare surgery over traditional surgery.

• In the case of traditional surgery, the patient has to stay in the hospital for a few days or weeks. Moreover, the patient may get infections for remaining in a room for more than a week. The charges for staying in the hospital also increases in traditional surgeries.
• Early mobilization i.e., ability to walk around is one of the greater advantages of daycare surgery.
• The patient may feel less pain in the location of the surgery as it involves minimally invasive surgical techniques.
• The patient can be discharged from the hospital on the same day of the surgery.

After the completion of the surgery, the patient goes through two phases. The first phase is the recovery phase. In this phase, the patient will be stabilized until the vitals are stable. The patient will have less pain, minimal dizziness, less nausea and less vomitings. Such patients can directly go for the second phase of the recovery room.

In the second phase, the patient is absolutely fine and is conscious enough, they can go back home in the evening after the surgery. If the patient takes more time in the first recovery phase, they will remain for some more time in the hospital than usual.

Usually, the complications are classified into two types i.e., major and minor. But, in the case of daycare surgery, the patient will be evaluated at least a few weeks before the surgery. The surgeons will proceed with the surgery only after ensuring that there are no complications post-surgery.

They make sure that there are no complications in the surgeon’s aspect as well as in the anesthetist aspect. There will be minor complaints after a daycare surgery. Mostly, the patient complains of having pain or not passed the urine or stools after the surgery. By informing these problems to the nursing staff or the concerned doctor, they will provide effective treatment immediately.

• Faster Recovery
• Lesser Hospitalization course
• Peacefulness to the patient
• Not prone to hospital infections i.e., nosocomial infections

If the patient has uncontrolled hypertension, severe respiratory disorders, smoker, obese is considered the major contraindications for daycare surgery. The surgeons often suggest such patients go for elective surgeries. In any kind of surgery, such patients will be recovered in a better way without confronting any of the complications. Whether it is a traditional or elective or a daycare surgery, proper care should be taken for such patients.
