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 home
- Scheduling 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
Endoscopy is performed on patients suffering from a variety of gastrointestinal conditions. The procedure allows a physician to examine the lining of the digestive system through the use of a lighted instrument called an endoscope. These outpatient minimally invasive procedures are performed using monitoring equipment available to provide highly accurate screening and diagnosis for patients.
Podiatric Procedures
These procedures use the most current technology available to help relieve pain associated with foot deformities and improve function of the foot and ankle (such as hammertoe correction and bunionectomy).
Ophthalmologic Procedures
Ophthalmic services are available for patients. Cataract surgery is the most common ophthalmic procedure performed at Morrison Community Hospital. We also offer the Yag Laser for secondary cataract removal.
