FAQ’s
What is day surgery?
Day surgery (or ambulatory surgery) allows patients to have an operation and return home the same day. It is suitable for many minor and intermediate procedures that don’t require an overnight hospital stay.
What procedures can be done as day surgery?
Common day surgery procedures include mole and cyst removal, hernia repair, carpal tunnel release, cataract and eyelid surgery, and minor gynaecological procedures. Your consultant will confirm if your treatment is suitable for same-day discharge.
Is day surgery safe?
Yes. All procedures are carried out by senior consultants and supported by experienced anaesthetists and nurses in our fully equipped theatre. You’ll be carefully monitored before, during, and after surgery to ensure safety and comfort.
How long will I stay at the hospital?
Most patients go home within a few hours of their procedure. You’ll spend some time in our recovery area under observation before being discharged with full aftercare instructions.
What aftercare is provided?
Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions before you leave and arranges a follow-up appointment if needed. You’ll have direct contact information should you need advice after discharge.
Do I need a referral for day surgery?
No. You can book directly for a consultation with one of our consultants to discuss your procedure and suitability for day surgery.
